Gwialen bach yn llaw ein Iôr

Gwialen bach yn llaw ein Iôr,
  Er agor y môr eigion;
Ond taro o Dduw, fe'i tyr yn ddau,
  Bob dafn o'i donnau dyfnion.
Edward Jones 1761-1836

[Mesur: MS 8787] 

A small rod in the hand of our Lord,
  For opening the ocean;
But a strike from God, he splits it in two,
  Every drop of the deep waves.
tr. 2025 Richard B Gillion
