Dauntless sons of Celtic sires
Language: English
Dauntless sons of Celtic sires,
Whose souls the love of freedom fires;
Hark, ev'ry harp to war inspires
On Cader Idris side.
See the brave advancing,
See the brave advancing!
Each well-tried spear, which Saxons fear,
In warlike splendour glancing!
Proud Harlech1 from her frowning towers
Pours forth her never failing powers:
Rouse, heroes, glory shall be ours;
March on, your country's pride!
Shall heart-rending sounds of woe
Be heard where Conway's waters flow?
Or shall a rude and ruthless foe
Find here one willing slave?
From mountain and from valley,
From mountain and from valley;
From Snowdon, from Plinlimmon's brow,
Around your Prince ye rally.
Let cowards kiss th' oppressor's scourge,
Home to his heart your weapons urge,
Or whelm him in th' avenging surge;
To victory, ye brave!
