Padraic Colum - Imitation of a Welsh Poem
Work rating: Low

AND that was when the chevaldour
Through the whole of night
Sang, for the moon of mid-July
Made the hillside bright.

Morfydd to David ap Gwillam spoke
When the song they did not hear,
"Something is stirring in the fern,
A living thing comes near."

`Twas not the wolf, `twas not the deer
That came with pause and bound;
A creature stood above the pair
Ap Gwillam`s Irish hound

And knew them then, and knew them there
Where the pine branches wave,
As close beside, as deep in earth,
As lone as in a grave!
