The Landscape
Here, around these parts
Are breathtakingly fine
Both Cregennan Lakes
For all our sakes
Are scenically divine
Unbelievable Mountain vistas
Wondrous lakes of myriad blues
Brown trout Blue and Rainbow Trout
And absolutely inspiring views
The estuary of Mawddach
The Arthrog Valley Bog
Cadair Idris stands aloft
Plants and flowers forever soft
A picnic here a shortish walk
Where sheep do baa and couples talk
Wild flowers wave, life to the full
This wonderful fusion, just feel that pull
On all our senses one has to say
Five miles from Home
On a summers day
Where Awelfa’s real tranquility
Is A flowery hilltop certainly
Suggests the need
Only five miles
Away from home
And some avid smiles
For Eryi stretches
Near and far
Narrow lanes
Of woodland, star
Dolgellau’s Stoney facing places
And of course so many faces
Of happiness and being where
So much beauty that all can share.
