<poem> | |||
When comes my Gwen, | |||
More glorious then | |||
The sun in heaven appeareth; | |||
And summer's self | |||
To meet this elf | |||
A smile more radiant weareth. | |||
When comes my love, | |||
The moon above | |||
Shines bright and ever brighter; | |||
And all the black | |||
And sullen wrack | |||
Grows in a moment lighter. | |||
When comes my Queen, | |||
The treetops green | |||
Bow down to earth to greet her; | |||
And tempests high | |||
That rend the sky | |||
Disperse, ashamed to meet her. | |||
When comes my sweet | |||
Her love to greet, | |||
My cares and sorrows vanish; | |||
For on her face | |||
Rests heavenly grace, | |||
Which troubles all doth banish. | |||
When comes my dear, | |||
The darkness drear | |||
'Twixt God and me is riven; | |||
Her loving eyes | |||
Reveal the skies | |||
And point the way to heaven. | |||

English text
When comes my Gwen,
More glorious then
The sun in heaven appeareth;
And summer's self
To meet this elf
A smile more radiant weareth.
When comes my love,
The moon above
Shines bright and ever brighter;
And all the black
And sullen wrack
Grows in a moment lighter.
When comes my Queen,
The treetops green
Bow down to earth to greet her;
And tempests high
That rend the sky
Disperse, ashamed to meet her.
When comes my sweet
Her love to greet,
My cares and sorrows vanish;
For on her face
Rests heavenly grace,
Which troubles all doth banish.
When comes my dear,
The darkness drear
'Twixt God and me is riven;
Her loving eyes
Reveal the skies
And point the way to heaven.
