Dy alwad glywir hanner dydd Fel ffliwt hyfrydlais uwch y rhos Fel chwiban bugail a fo gudd Dy alwad glywir hanner nos Nes clywir, pan ddwys a dy swn Cyfarth dy anweledig gwn
Dy braidd yw'r moel gymylau maith A'th barod gwn yw'r pedwar gwynt Gorlanna'th ddiadelloedd llaith I'w gwasgar eilwaith ar eu hynt Yn yrr ddioffwys, laes ddifref Hyd lynfnion hafodlasau'r nef
THE CURLEW
Your call is heard at high noon-day A wistfull flute across the mere As herdsman's whistle far away Your call is heard at midnight clear Then hear we, as you swell your keen Barking afar, your hounds unseen
Your flocks the massive clouds of grey And all four winds, your eager hounds Awhile do pen them are they stray And scattler once more out of bounds A mute and restless drove on high Amid the shieling of the sky
