Gwawdodyns

Gwawdodyns are Welsh metrical stanzas used in traditional cynghanedd poetry, usually within longer awdl poems. The exact pattern can vary in historical sources, so the term is best understood as a named Welsh stanza form rather than a single fixed rhyme scheme in modern English poetry study.

Example

Ar the hill the harp wind sings,
Stone to stone the echo clings;
Bright above the bracken floor,
Night remembers every door.
