My daffodil, my leek, my love

My asphodel, she-dragon, you

Are green of all below, above

Including Eistedfoddau too


When, coming up inside the lift

Leaving the coalface for the day

I set my cares and woe adrift

And after showering I’m on my way


To see my Rose, my dear Welsh Rose

Queen of the valleys and my heart

I pray the pit will never close

And we will never never part

A couple of hundred weight of coal!

The World Must Yield

Fruitlessly breathing out the fag

Whose smoke blew back into the room...

Ancient Adoration

Eat me if you’re hungry

Burn me if you’re cold

Sleep on me if you’re tired...
