Another inspiring, hymn, Rhiannon...just right for the run-up to Easter. Unfortunately though I am not familiar with the Wentworth tune, or the hymn. Never mind, it certainly didn't spoil my enjoyment of this lovely hymn of yours.

This is enchanting, Lindy, and I think you have done a wonderful job. Close to the original or not, it is still a story told in your own inimitable way, and I should very much like to read on, if the road way so permits, of course.

Beautifully written, wonderfully vibrant, and in the...

Rhiannon, the second stanza
Posted on Sun, 28 Feb 2016
Rhiannon, the second stanza is particularly stunning, what with the alliteration and all, in its last line, and the tune to 'Oh Little Town...' fits the hymn, in its entirety, like a glove.

The picture, almost as magnificent as this wonderful piece of work Terry...and hard work, it must have been in the making. A labour of love, though, most certainly, as spoken so very eloquently between each line, and with each written word,...

Much to think about here, Terry, as with all your work...the last stanza particularly chilling. Admirable writing. The kind of poem I shall keep coming back to.
