The Flower of Wales

St David our patron and wearer of daffies Lynched by the English who named us all Taffies With our fellow Celts, they feared we would stand and repel Anglo-Saxons from all British land But spring-time did come, along with a truce The trumpets of yellow announcing the news A change in the seasons, a break in the rain The daffodils dance in the warm breeze again *Happy St Davids day for March 1st Dydd Gwyl Dewi I pawb yn Cymru ar Mawrth 1af* For Francines Daffodil contest 29th Feb 2012
