DRUID CHORUS ON THE LANDING OF THE ROMANS.
By the dread and viewless powers,
Whom the storms and seas obey,
From the Dark Isle's*[1] mystic bowers,
Romans! o'er the deep away!
Think ye, 'tis but nature's gloom
O'er our shadowy coast which broods?
By the altar and the tomb,
Shun these haunted solitudes!
- ↑ * Ynys Dywyll, or the Dark Island, an ancient name for Anglesey.
