(a) In both these lines the word “stormy” assumes different connotations. ‘The stormy land’ here means the land where the passionate storm of Ullin’s daughter and her lover had ravaged the family. The boat left the stormy land where Lord Ullin and his stormy armed horsemen were giving the lovers a hot chase. ‘The stormy sea’ here means the furious stormy sea that faced their boat.

(b) Lord Ullin’s beautiful daughter somehow has to face a rough weather everywhere. If she goes back home, she will be confronted with the fury of a stormy father. So she decides to face the stormy sea and the scowling sky as she can’t face the anger of her father.
