Nature
Plynlimmon
Translated by George Borrow (Welsh Poems and Ballads, 1915) · From Welsh Poems and Ballads (1915)
FROM high Plynlimmon's shaggy side
Three streams in three directions glide,
To thousands at their mouth who tarry
Honey, gold and mead they carry.
Flow also from Plynlimmon high
Three streams of generosity;
The first, a noble stream indeed,
Like rills of Mona runs with mead;
The second bears from vineyards thick
Wine to the feeble and the sick;
The third, till time shall be no more,
Mingled with gold shall silver pour.
