Atgo

Atgo
Dim ond lleuad borffor
    Ar fin y mynydd llwm;
A sŵn hen afon Prysor
    Yn canu yn y Cwm.

Ellis Evans (Hedd Wyn) 1887-1917

Remembrance
Only a purple moon
    On the edge of the bare mountain;
And the sound of the old river Prysor
    Singing in the Valley.

tr. 2010 Richard B Gillion
