Mae yr heulwen wedi blino
Y mae'r haulwen wedi blino

(Diwedd pob peth a nesäodd)
Mae yr heulwen wedi blino
  Teithio yn y wybr lâs;
Daear drom ei bron diffygio
  Porthi'r llysiau sy'n y maes;
Mae'r planedau'n gwaeddi, Diwedd;
  Pob creadur yn ei ryw
'N ocheneidio am gael gweled
  Gwir ddadguddiad meibion Duw.

Mae yr oriau yn fy ngalw
  Beunydd i ymbarotoi:
Tân sy'n dod ar ddinas distryw
  Tua Söar imi ffoi!
Arglwydd, 'mafael ynwy'n fuan,
  Onidê ni ddeuaf byth,
Tra bo'r tân yn llosgi Sodom,
  Yn y bryniau gwnaf fy nyth.
William Williams 1717-91

  Clywaf lais gan bob rhyw raddau
  Y mae'r oriau yn fy ngalw

(The end of everything has drawn near)
The sunshine is exhausted
  Travelling in the blue sky;
Heavy earth is almost failing
  To feed the herbs that are in the field;
The planets are shouting, An end;
  Every creature in its kind
Groaning to get to see
  The true revelation of the sons of God.

The hours are calling me
  Daily to prepare myself:
A fire is coming on the city of destruction
  Towards Soar for me to flee!
Lord, take hold of me soon,
  Lest I never come,
While the fire be burning Sodom,
  In the hills I shall make my nest.
tr. 2018 Richard B Gillion
(1 Pet. iv. 7. The End of all Things is at Hand)
The Moon and all her Train surrounding
  With the lofty dazzling Sun,
Now are wearied in the Heavens
  Their laborious Course to run.
Earth and Sea in mighty Travail
  With their Creatures never cease,
Groaning for the Revelation,
  Glorious of the Sons of Peace.

Ev'ry Hour doth call, "Be ready,
  Haste to Zoar, there to remain;
Fire and Brimstone hover over
  All the Cities of the Plain."
Snatch me from the Conflagration,
  Jesus, draw me by the Hand,
Lest I love my ancient Dwelling,
  And transgress thy great Command.
tr. William Williams 1717-91
