Innocent Solveig falls for Peer Gynt, and misses him. Her mood flip-flops in her song.
              
Peer Gynt, an irresponsible man, lives in ambitious fantasy and roams around without purposes. When he eventually returns home broke, he finds Solveig still waiting for him, but grey-haired and blind.
