I feel my heart well up with pride
For the Welsh within my soul.
Beauty with me at my side
As this beauty we behold.
Twmbarlwm watches over
The meander of the Usk,
Welsh beauty all consuming,
As my lifetime flows to dusk.
Vast, small principality
Of valleys and mountains, green.
As this world fills up with greyness
This eighth wonder should be seen.
