Gwenllian of Bergental - Tygers Cub

 We have heard, in Our home of the Tyger’s Tread 

Blooming blossoms grow with toothsome thorns

One such Clever Kit of the Cat’s Sea 

Stretches her spine, intent on prey, or play

As her senses strike that day 

So as the Sky-Candle slowly melts 

Stunning Treasure Turners East: 

Monarch’s Matthew and Fiamuin Fore Moons’ 

Fall upon Our Flaxen Haired flower 

Good Gwenllian of Bergental

Now Counted as a Tyger’s Cub

As happened here in Our Hall of the North, AS LIX
