Ynys Cariad

Christopher Gordon Williams 1953 (Hobart)

I’m on the train heading for home,
Going to M’Lady’s zone.
On the train, change at Ringwood,
There to change best I should.
Going home to loving embrace,
Now everyday I can see her face.
On the train to Ynys Cariad,
To her, love, best I’ve had.
Speeding to my lover’s charms,
Free will’s choice to be in her arms.
Nowhere else I’d want to be,
Forever with her, our choice we will see.
