When comes my Gwen,
More glorious then
The sun in heaven appeareth;
And summer's self
To meet this elf
A smile more radiant weareth.
When comes my love,
The moon above
Shines bright and ever brighter;
And all the black
And sullen wrack
Grows in a moment lighter.


{{Text|English}}
When comes my Queen,
 
The treetops green
:When comes my Gwen,
Bow down to earth to greet her;
:More glorious then
And tempests high
:The sun in heaven appeareth;
That rend the sky
:And summer's self
Disperse, ashamed to meet her.
:To meet this elf
When comes my sweet
:A smile more radiant weareth.
Her love to greet,
:When comes my love,
My cares and sorrows vanish;
:The moon above
For on her face
:Shines bright and ever brighter;
Rests heavenly grace,
:And all the black
Which troubles all doth banish.
:And sullen wrack
When comes my dear,
:Grows in a moment lighter.
The darkness drear
<br>
'Twixt God and me is riven;
 
Her loving eyes
:When comes my Queen,
Reveal the skies
:The treetops green
And point the way to heaven.}}
:Bow down to earth to greet her;
:And tempests high
:That rend the sky
:Disperse, ashamed to meet her.
:When comes my sweet
:Her love to greet,
:My cares and sorrows vanish;
:For on her face
:Rests heavenly grace,
:Which troubles all doth banish.
:When comes my dear,
:The darkness drear
:'Twixt God and me is riven;
:Her loving eyes
:Reveal the skies
:And point the way to heaven.

When comes my Gwen,
More glorious then
The sun in heaven appeareth;
And summer's self
To meet this elf
A smile more radiant weareth.
When comes my love,
The moon above
Shines bright and ever brighter;
And all the black
And sullen wrack
Grows in a moment lighter.

When comes my Queen,
The treetops green
Bow down to earth to greet her;
And tempests high
That rend the sky
Disperse, ashamed to meet her.
When comes my sweet
Her love to greet,
My cares and sorrows vanish;
For on her face
Rests heavenly grace,
Which troubles all doth banish.
When comes my dear,
The darkness drear
'Twixt God and me is riven;
Her loving eyes
Reveal the skies
And point the way to heaven.
