As I understand it this tells of a young rebel who is having to leave Ireland and his love to escape imprisonment by the English. He would hardly then be going 'ashore' as described in line four verse two. I think you will find that it should be 'a stor' which in gaelic translates to 'my love'. Certainly makes more sense.
