Dafydd
Out of the mists of Ynys Prydein
Rhynnon rode without vainglorious pride,
Upon his white horse to serve & protect,
Rescue fair maidens from all evil he could detect.
Riding forth without fear or favour
Fighting for his Lady’s honour.
Repeated through time & space
A medieval knight in this time & place.
Each lady is dearly beloved,
Just as much as the Goddesses above.
If push does come to shove,
Every time he’ll choose the ideal of love.
