Snowdon

From the Welsh


Translated by George Barrow COLD is the snow on Snowdon’s brow,
It makes the air so chill;
For cold, I trow, there is no snow
Like that of Snowdon’s hill.

A hill most chill is Snowdon’s hill,	5
And wintry is his brow;
From Snowdon’s hill the breezes chill
Can freeze the very snow.
