on poetry by three Scottish women in descending order of century:​

I. Mary's Song

(poetry by Marion Angus, 19th-20th century)

II. Auld Robin Gray

(poetry by Lady Ann Lindsay, 18th-19th century)

III. Out ouer them all

(poetry excerpted from "Ane godlie Dreame", by Elizabeth Melville, 16th-17th century)

as the text sources get older, the ideas contained within them modernize, and the narrator journeys from obsession to concession to freedom.
