The Hirlas Horn / Y Corn Hirlas Fill high the blue Hirlas! That shines like a wave, When sunbeams are bright, On the spray of the sea, And bear thou the rich Foaming mead to the brave The Dragons of Battle, The sons of the Free! To those from whose spears, In the shock of the flight A beam like Heav'n's lightning, Flash oe'er the field. To those who came rushing, As storms in their might, Who have shiver'd the helmet, And cloven the shield. The sound of whose strife Was like oceans afar. When lances were red From the harvest of war!
Fill high the blue Hirlas! O, cupbearer fill! For the lords of the field In their festival's hour, And let the mead foam Like the stream of the hill, That bursts o'er the rock In the pride of its pow'r Praise, praise to the mighty Fill high the smooth horn Of honor and mirth, For the conflict is o'er; And round let the golden tipp'd Hirlas be borne To the lion defenders Of Gwynnedd's fair shore, Who rush'd to the field Where the glory was won, As eagles that soar From their cliffs to the sun! |
