Oh Wales, I Love Your Shades Of Green

Oh Wales, I Love Your Shades Of Green

Oh Wales, I love
your shades of green,
the deepest colours
I have seen.

Your mountains rise
to touch the sky,
while silver clouds
go sailing by.

I walk your paths,
it’s not my land,
yet still I feel
you understand.

Your rivers run
through ancient stone,
and whisper softly,
“You’re not alone.”

Your valleys hold
the songs of men,
who went below
and rose again.

Your castles guard
the years gone past,
though kings have fallen,
you still stand fast.

The rain may fall
upon my face,
but even rain
has Welsh-born grace.

The dragon sleeps
beneath your ground,
its fiery heart
still beating sound.

I came a stranger,
passing through,
but left a piece
of me with you.

Oh Wales, I love
your shades of green,
you are the loveliest
dream I’ve seen.
