lirik lagu the castles of wales by daniel evans - bart wolffe
ye fortresses grey and gigantic
i see on the hills of my land
to my mind ye appear terrific
when i muse on your ruins so grand;
your walls were a shelter the strongest
from the enemies’ countless array
when they spilt with the blood of the bravest
your sides in our ancestors’ day
around you the war~horse was neighing
and pranced his rich trappings to feel
while through you were frightfully gleaming
bright lances and spears of steel;
the fruits of the rich~laden harvest
were ruthlessly trod by the foe
and the thunder of battle was loudest
to herald its message of woe
while viewing your dilapidation
my memory kindles with joy
to think that the foes of our nation
no longer these valleys destroy;
by sowing his fields in the winter
in hope of a rich harvest~home
the husbandman now feels no terror
of war with its havoc to come
when i look at the sheep as they shelter
in safety beneath your rude walls
where erst the dread agents of slaughter
fell’d thousands, nor heeded their calls;
the hillock where crossed the sharp spears
now shadows the ewe and its lamb
while seeing the peace of these years
my heart is with gratitude warm
ye towers that saw the wild ravens
and the eagles with hunger impell’d
exultingly gorge ’mid your ruins
on corpses of men which they held;
how sweet for you now ’tis to hear
the shepherd, so peaceful and meek
tune his reed with a melody clear
while his flock in you shelter do seek
upon your battlements sitting
to view the bright landscape below
my heart becomes sad when remembering
that silent in death is the foe
and the friends who bravely did combat
and raised your grey towers so steep
declaring their life~blood should stagnate
ere ever in chains they would weep
when i think of their purpose so pure
the tear must fast trickle from me
their hearts did providence allure
to their country, and her did they free;
we now live beneath a meek power
and feel the full blessings of peace
while on us abundantly shower
the mercies of heaven with increase
