Gobaith

Er cwyno lawer canwaith - a gweled

Gobaith
Er cwyno lawer canwaith - a gweled
    Twyll y galon ddiffaith,
  Ni fyn Duw, o fewn y daith,
  Droi neb i dir anobaith.

Robert Williams (Robert ap Gwilym Ddu) 1766-1850

Hope
Despite complaining many a hundred times - and seeing
    The deception of the desolate heart,
  God shall not, within the journey,
  Turn anyone into the land of hopelessness.

tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
