A CAMBRIAN TOUR.
And the thought that when parting we parted for ever,
That in this earthly scene we should meet again never,
A sigh of regret perchance drew.

To Bangor's fair city our ride was delightful,
But we stopped not the town to survey;
Penmaen Maur's craggy steep frowned tremendously frightful,
But Conway's light fabric looked poor to the sight, full
Of Menai's stupendous display.

From Conway we travelled for twenty long miles,
And arrived, just as night gathered round,
At the vicarage, where we were greeted with smiles,
And a welcome, the warmth of which sweetly beguiles
Fatigue of its weariness, found.

Llanberris, thy beauties can scarcel excel
The beauties of Clwydd and Cwm,
