Read the speculations about the origin of this song:-

I always assumed the song was a father talking to his son about being the boy being called to war. Don't know about Irish bagpipes being used as a call to arms, but the line "'Tis you must go and, 'tis I must bide" I took to be the father's way of saying, "I've already been to war, I'm too old to fight. You're the one being conscripted now, so don't go out and get yourself killed. There will always be a welcome home for you." And "the summer's gone and all the roses falling" could be a poetic references to the father's advanced years, being in the autumn of his life.
This is all mere speculation on my part, of course.
