Colled

	Pan own ger y dyfroedd oer
	Yn difa’r lloer a cherrig
	Disgynnodd floedd o’r nefoedd
	Mewn rhu o wyntoedd ffyrnig
	Dros y dŵr daeth alarch du
	Yn plethu plu pruddglwyfus
	Yn llithro’n llwm a phendrwm
	Ymysg y bwrlwm stormus
	Anodd dala dŵr y llyn
	Yng nghwpan tynn fy nwylo
	Anodd cadw’r alarch draw
	O’r baw lle mynnai lanio
	Trwm yw’r adain ddu ar rai
	Ond pwysa lai ar eraill
	Sy’n cydio’n dynn mewn plufyn
	A’i dderbyn fel hen gyfaill
	Wedi’r deryn tywyll ffoi
	A’r gwyntoedd troi’n ddiniwed
	Mor anwaraidd yn fy nghraidd
	Oedd atsain oeraidd colled
	Anodd dala dŵr y llyn
	Yng nghwpan tynn fy nwylo
	Anodd cadw’r alarch draw
	O’r baw lle mynnai lanio
	Loss
	As I was beside the icy depths
	Destroying the stars with stones
	A roar descended from above
	In a gale of fierce winds
	Over the water came a black swan
	Folding her melancholy wings
	Sliding glum and heavy
	Amongst the stormy water
	Hard to hold the water of the lake
	In the tight cup of my hands
	Hard to keep the swan away
	From the soil where it must land
	Heavy is the black wing on some
	But it weighs less on those
	That grasp her feathers close
	And greet her as an old friend
	After the dark bird had away
	The winds became harmless
	So savage in my heart
	Was the cold echo of loss
	Hard to hold the water of the lake
	In the tight cup of my hands
	Hard to keep the swan away
	From the soil where it must land
