It was set to music as Norlan' Wind and popularised by Angus singer and songmaker Jim Reid, who also set to music other poems by Jacob and other Angus poets such as Marion Angus and Helen Cruikshank. Another version, sung by Cilla Fisher and Artie Trezise, appeared on their 1979 Topic Records album Cilla and Artie.
