W:Hark! I hear the foe advancing, Barbed steeds are proudly prancing,
W:Helmets in the sunbeams glancing, Glitter through the trees.
W:Men of Harlech lie ye dreaming? See ye not their falchions gleaming?
W:While their pennants gaily streaming Flutter in the breeze.
W:From the rocks abounding Let the war cry sounding,
W:Summon all at Freedom's call; The haughty foe surrounding.
W:Men of Harlech, on to glory, See your banner famed in story,
W:Wave these burning words before thee, "Welshman scorns to yield".
W:.
W:Mid the fray see dead and dying, Friend and foe together lying,
W:All around the gun shot flying, Scatters sudden death.
W:Frightened steeds are wildly neighing, Brazen trumpets hoarsely braying,
W:Wounded men for mercy praying With their parting breath.
W:See they're in disorder! Comrades keep close order!
W:Ever shall they rue the day, They ventured 'cross our border.
W:Now the Saxons flee before us, Vict'ry's banner floateth o'er us.
W:Raise the loud exulting chorus "Cymru wins the field".
