Rhifedi'r gwlith neu ser y nen, Rhif gwellt y maes, rhif gwallt fy mhen, Pe'u lluosogid oll yn nghyd, Dŷnt ddim wrth oesoedd bythol fyd! 'Dyw oesoedd byd mo'r munud awr Wrth feithder tragwyddoldeb mawr! O fewn i'r annherfynol dir Bydd cartref f'enaid cyn bo hir. Ac O paham yr wyf mor frol A chwennych aros yma'n ol? Ni wel y llesg ar lwybyr llaith Byth yn rhy fuan ben ei daith.David Thomas (Dafydd Ddu o Eryri) 1759-1822
Tôn [MH 8888]: gwelir: Er cael mewn rhan wybodaeth ber Mae meddwl am y nefol fro |
The sum of the dew, or the stars of the sky, The number of the straws of the field, the number of the hairs of my head, If they were multiplied all together, They are not comparable to the ages of the everlasting world! The ages of the world are not of the minutes of an hour Against the extent of great eternity! Within the boundless land Will be the home of my soul before long. And O why am I so boastful And craving to stay behind here? The weary never sees on the path of death Ever too soon the end of his journey.tr. 2009 Richard B Gillion |
