In Sioned, by Winnie Parry, the following poem is discovered by Janet in her brother Bob's hidden notebooks. It isn't a formal Welsh poem, but a song written by a young man, who never intended it to be seen by his cariad. Janet (the Sioned of the novel's title) sets it to a Chapel hymn she calls Boston, which I think was West Boston by William Billings.

Elin by Winnie Parry

Elin brydferth, fwynaf un, Yn fy nghalon mae dy lun, Wedi ei gerfio â phwyntil serch, Delw euraidd gwyneb merch.

Holl brydferthion anian dlos, Fwyn ddeheuwynt, gwenau'r rhos, Ceinion gwridog gwawrddydd haf, Ceinion tyner hwyrddydd braf,

Sŵn yr awel drwy yr ŷd, Sŵn y dyfroedd dros y rhyd, Cân yr 'hedydd oddi fry, Can yr eos hwyr-nos gu,

Swyn y ddisglair lasaidd don, Swyn yr wylan ar ei bron, Swynion oll, brydferthion byd, Ynot maent yn cwrdd i gyd.

Literal Translation

Beautiful Elin, dearest one, I keep your likeness here in my heart, Made with the hand of love, A golden image of a girl’s face.

All nature’s beauties, The sweet south wind, the smiles of the rose, The peony blushing with summer dew, The tender delights of a fine evening,

The sound of the breeze through the corn, The sound of the waters at the ford, The skylark singing from above, The song of the nightingale in the dark,

The charm of the bright blue wave, The charm of the seagull on the hill, All charms, all beauties of the world, In you they all meet.
