Croeso i'r gwanwyn tawel cynnar

Y Gwanwyn

Y Gwanwyn
Croeso i'r gwanwyn tawel cynnar,
Croeso i'r gog a'i llawen lafar,
  Croeso i'r tes i rodio'r gweunydd,
  A gair llon ac awr llawenydd.

Edward Morys (?1607-89)

The Spring
Welcome to the quiet early Spring,
Welcome to the cuckoo and its joyful speech,
  Welcome to the warmth to wander the moors,
  And a cheeful word and an hour of joy.

tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion
