First Line: Cry 'tudor'...And this ancient dust will swarm
Last Line: Deep in their rugged hills beneath the rain?
Subject(s): Death; Wales; Dead, The; Welshmen; Welshwomen
CRY 'Tudor' ... and this ancient dust will swarm
To companies and hosts of desperate men:
And myriad feet will muster ... and alarm
Shatter the years' long truce. So, surely, then
You shall discern a grave, prophetic Prince
Beneath the dragon-standard and the sun,
Marching with men who yearned and waited since
Llywelyn died and Glyndwr's dream was done—
To make a kinsman king. And, lo! they come
Hot-blooded in the faith. O doomed, crowned head
So stubborn-valiant ... yet so swiftly dumb,
Do you still linger with those Cymric dead
Who by an easier path had haply lain
Deep in their rugged hills beneath the rain?
