Original text and translations
English text
- When comes my Gwen,
- More glorious then
- The sun in heaven appeareth;
- And summer's self
- To meet this elf
- A smile more radiant weareth.
- When comes my love,
- The moon above
- Shines bright and ever brighter;
- And all the black
- And sullen wrack
- Grows in a moment lighter.
- When comes my Queen,
- The treetops green
- Bow down to earth to greet her;
- And tempests high
- That rend the sky
- Disperse, ashamed to meet her.
- When comes my sweet
- Her love to greet,
- My cares and sorrows vanish;
- For on her face
- Rests heavenly grace,
- Which troubles all doth banish.
- When comes my dear,
- The darkness drear
- 'Twixt God and me is riven;
- Her loving eyes
- Reveal the skies
- And point the way to heaven.
- Lyrics: E. O. Jones
- Based on a text in Welsh by Mynyddog (1833-1877)
