TO THE GULL.
The bard asks the gull to be his love-envoy to Morvyth. Morvyth (Morfydd) was a lady to whom the poet was attached through life, and whose beauty forms the chief theme of his poems.
Bird that dwellest in the spray,
White as yon moon’s calm array,
Dust thy beauty ne’er may stain,
Sunbeam-gauntlet of the main[3]!
