- First published in the Journal of the Welsh Folk-Song Society. A love song, which uses flower and herb metaphors to represent qualities such as purity (lilies), virginity (thyme) and faithfulness (rosemary). It is constructed of combined traditional quatrains of the form referred to as Hen Benillion (Old Stanzas), which are independent units that were often strung together with others of the same metre, not necessarily on connected topics, meaning that several versions are known. This song also exemplifies the 'triad' formula in which three ideas are expressed, the third being the climax or contrast.
