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
