Men of Harlech in the hollow,
<poem>
Men of Harlech in the hollow,  
Do you hear like rushing billow
Do you hear like rushing billow
Wave on wave that surging fellow  
Wave on wave that surging fellow
Battle's distant sound
Battle's distant sound
'Tis the tramp of Saxon foemen,  
'Tis the tramp of Saxon foemen,
Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen
Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen
Be they knights or hinds or yeomen,  
Be they knights or hinds or yeomen,
They shall bite the ground
They shall bite the ground
Loose the folds asunder,  
Loose the folds asunder,
Flag we conquer under
Flag we conquer under
The placid sky, now calm on high  
The placid sky, now calm on high
Shall launch its bolts of thunder
Shall launch its bolts of thunder
Onward, 'tis our country needs us,  
Onward, 'tis our country needs us,
He is bravest, he who leads us
He is bravest, he who leads us
Honor's self now proudly heads us!  
Honor's self now proudly heads us!
Cambria, God, and Right!
Cambria, God, and Right!


Rocky steeps and passes narrow  
Rocky steeps and passes narrow
Flash with spear and flight of arrow
Flash with spear and flight of arrow
Who would think of death or sorrow?  
Who would think of death or sorrow?
Death is glory now!
Death is glory now!
Hurl the reeling horsemen over,  
Hurl the reeling horsemen over,
Let the earth dead foemen cover
Let the earth dead foemen cover
Fate of friend or wife or lover  
Fate of friend or wife or lover
Trembles on a blow!
Trembles on a blow!
Strands of life are riven,  
Strands of life are riven,
Blow for blow is given
Blow for blow is given
In deadly lock or battle shock,  
In deadly lock or battle shock,
And mercy shrieks to Heaven
And mercy shrieks to Heaven
Men of Harlech, young or hoary  
Men of Harlech, young or hoary
Would you win a name in story?
Would you win a name in story?
Strike for home, for life, for glory!  
Strike for home, for life, for glory!
Cambria, God, and Right!
Cambria, God, and Right!}}

Men of Harlech in the hollow,
Do you hear like rushing billow
Wave on wave that surging fellow
Battle's distant sound
'Tis the tramp of Saxon foemen,
Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen
Be they knights or hinds or yeomen,
They shall bite the ground
Loose the folds asunder,
Flag we conquer under
The placid sky, now calm on high
Shall launch its bolts of thunder
Onward, 'tis our country needs us,
He is bravest, he who leads us
Honor's self now proudly heads us!
Cambria, God, and Right!

Rocky steeps and passes narrow
Flash with spear and flight of arrow
Who would think of death or sorrow?
Death is glory now!
Hurl the reeling horsemen over,
Let the earth dead foemen cover
Fate of friend or wife or lover
Trembles on a blow!
Strands of life are riven,
Blow for blow is given
In deadly lock or battle shock,
And mercy shrieks to Heaven
Men of Harlech, young or hoary
Would you win a name in story?
Strike for home, for life, for glory!
Cambria, God, and Right!
