SUN ON THE HILL
SUN ON THE HILL
“Daw haul ar fryn”
they say in Wales,
“Sun will come on a hill”.
So put on your wellies,
get out in the rain,
and let life’s weather
send what it will.
Though the landscape
is nought but storm-tossed sky
with never a sign of a hill,
as the storm exults,
and the clouds unfold.
The hills will reveal
themselves, lurking still
and somewhere there
on a distant hill
a velvet patch of gold.
Daw haul ar fryn is pronounced dow hile ar vrin

May I take the last six lines of this delightful poem and scatter them on the hills here so I may embrace a velvet patch of gold too.
An uplifting poem for our dreadful weather. Loved it. sue.
You are welcome. although sometimes the sun does delay a bit. but it has been excellent last day or two. Glad you liked it. Took mr ages to find copy [I painted] but found it and used it for cover of my poetry book.
What a wonderful, lyrical, atmospheric read.
Brilliant.
