Bard of greatest renown
Of the kingdom Rheged
Mighty is thy telling
And shrouded legacy
Heroic age cultivate
Hallowed ground consecrate
Spirit of Awen
Son of Elffin
Gwion bach, servant boy on Bala shore
Stirring cauldron, answer for
Drops of knowledge on his hand
Morph his form to rabbit ran
Forth to river salmon leap
Forth to grain and hen shall feed
From her womb is Gwion born
Taliesin forth
Until I perish in old age
In death's dire compulsion
I shall not be joyous
Unless I praise Urien
Until I perish in old age
In death's dire compulsion
I shall not be joyous
Unless I praise Urien
