And Snowdon sends its autumn rain

To bid thy current livelier flow;

Amid that ashen foliage light

When scarlet beads are glistering bright,

While alder boughs unchanged are seen

In summer livery of green;

When clouds before the cooler breeze

Are flying, white and large; with these

Returning, so may I return,

And find thee changeless, Pont-y-wern.
