Jeorg, the song appears to have a pastoal theme which means it is portraying an idealised view of the poet's world. The song appears to hae a Garden of Eden quality where one can reach up and pick fruit off the trees, the weather is always fine and you get the girl of your dreams. This type of song was believed to have been brought to Ireland by the Norman invaders.

There does seem to be an implied eroticism in the images of a land flowing with milk and honey, fruit-filled trees, etc...

then of course, there's the part where he places his hand on his sweetheart's breast :-) . This type of an ending that shocks the listener to their senses at the end of a long involved, reflective song seems to be another characteristic of traditional songs
