THE Wye and the Severn are offspring
Of dark Plinlimmon's side;
And there they were nursed as playmates,
And then -- they were sundered wide.
In ways far parted they travel,
By city and castled shore;
And at last, after great adventures,
They meet -- very old -- once more.
They have long grown rich in homage;
They are full of renown and pride;
But they babble of how they were playmates
On dark Plinlimmon's side.
