w:Waves these burn-ing words be-fore ye, "Bri-tain scorns to yield."
W:Hark, I hear the foe advancing,
W:Barb-ed steeds are proudly prancing,
W:Helmets, in the sunbeams glancing, glitter through the trees.
W:Men of Harlech, lie ye dreaming?
W:See ye not the falchions gleaming?
W:While their pennants gaily streaming, flutter in the breeze.
W:From the rocks rebounding,
W:Let the war cry sounding
W:Summon all at Cambria's call, the haughty foe surrounding.
W:Men of Harlech, on to glory,
W:See your banner famed in story,
W:Waves these burning words before ye,
W:"Britain scorns to yield."
W:
W:Mid the fray see dead and dying,
W:Friend and foe together lying,
W:All around the arrows flying scatter sudden death.
W:Frightened steeds are wildly neighing,
W:Brazen trumpets hoarsely braying,
W:Wounded men for mercy praying with their parting breath.
W:See, they're in disorder.
W:Comrades, keep close order.
W:Ever they shall rue the day they ventured o'er the border.
W:Now the Saxon flees before us.
W:Vict'ry's banner floateth o'er us
W:Raise the loud exulting chorus, "Britain wins the field."
