The Wonders Of Wales

From seaside strand to crumbling pile

This ancient land displays some style

From country lanes much overgrown

To rippling water smoothing stones

To touring cyclists on their bikes

And walkers following Offa’s Dyke

And others lazing in the shade

Rarely from the high street strayed

This Cambrian land has much to offer

And to the visitor can proffer

Rural treasures there abound

Yet urban pleasures still redound

One feature sometimes overlooked

Which we might think is gobbledygook

The Welsh language is widely spoken there

But so is English – don’t despair!

The Principality extends its welcome

Its hills and vales will surely beckon

This land of song and gentle charm

Will all resistance soon disarm
