PRIME MINISTER OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND

This Psaltery of Celtic Songs

To you by bounden right belongs;

For ere War's thunder round us broke,

To your content its chord I woke,

Where Cymru's Prince in fealty pure

Knelt for his Sire's Investiture.

Nor less these lays are yours but more,

In memory of the Eisteddfod floor

You flooded with a choral throng

That poured God's praise a whole day long.

But most, O Celtic Seer, to you

This Song Wreath of our Race is due,

Since high o'er hatred and division,

You have scaled the Peak and seen the Vision

Of Freedom, breaking into birth

From out an agonising Earth.
