CAMBRIAN DREAM -Gwydion PenDerwyn copyright probably to Nemeton

In the mountains of Cambria, by Rhymney's bright stream

I have oft slept in heather, and dreamed a bright Dream

No mortal could wake me, nor see what I've seen

No landscape could ever compare.

'Twas the Land of my Fathers, unfettered, and free

Ere the time that the Saxon swept over the Sea

When mistletoe grew 'neath the shining Oak Tree

No landscape could ever compare!

(Chorus): Dreaming of Prydein, asleep on a hill

When I awaken, will you be there still?

Oh, Island of Poets, my dreams you can fill

But never the long waking hours.

Mighty Poets and Warriors traversed every road

Leaving stories and legends wherever they strode

Their pasts are recalled in the humblest abode

In tales of the sunnier days.

(Chorus)

Now my story is ended, my song is all gone

I have slept thru the evening, and into the dawn

Yet still, I remember your Face, Albion,

And your older, and much wiser ways!

(Chorus) *
