lyrics

"Cariwch," medd Dafydd, "fy nhelyn i mi,
 Ceisiaf cyn marw roi tôn arni hi. 
Codwch fy nwylaw i gyrhaedd y tant; 
Duw a'ch bendithio fy ngweddw a'm plant!"

"Neithiwr mi glywais lais angel fel hyn: '
Dafydd, tyrd adref, a chwarae trwy'r glyn!'
 Delyn fy mebyd, ffarwel i dy dant! 
Duw a'ch bendithio fy ngweddw a'm plant!"
