Disgrifiad

Tynnwyd y ffotograff gan John Thomas, 1867.

Ganed J. Ceiriog Hughes (1832-87) yn Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, Sir Ddinbych. Treuliodd gyfnod ym Manceinion a bu'n gweithio fel clerc ar y rheilffordd yn Llundain cyn dychwelyd i Gymru ym 1868 pan gafodd ei benodi yn orsaf-feistr yng Nghaersŵs. Roedd Ceiriog wedi dechrau barddoni ers rhai blynyddoedd ond ni chyhoeddwyd ei waith hyd 1860 pan ymddangosodd y gyfrol 'Oriau'r Hwyr'. Dilynwyd hon gan sawl cyfrol arall, gan gynnwys 'Oriau'r Bore' (1862) a 'Cant o Ganeuon' (1863) - cyfrolau sy'n cynnwys ei waith mwyaf poblogaidd. Mae'n debyg mai ei ganeuon telynegol oedd ei weithiau mwyaf poblogaidd ac mae rhai, fel 'Nant y Mynydd' ac 'Alun Mabon', yn parhau i gael eu canu a'u hadrodd ar lwyfannau eisteddfodau a chyngherddau hyd heddiw.

My name is Bruce Matteson, I live in Los Angeles, California. My mother was English and her mother's family settled in the Rhonda Valley sometime in the late 19th century. My grand uncles worked down in the coal mines of the valley and the only thing that got them out was WWI and the trenches of France, where Uncle Jimmy was killed just before Armistice. My grandmother must have learned some of John Ceiriog Hughes poetry as a girl; our family always heard bits of Ar Hwyr D Nos and Nant y Mynydd in Welsh as my grandmother and great grandmother remembered them. Tonight as I was strolling to the grocery for a few odds and ends, as is my wont, I popped in to the used book and record store on Franklin Ave. As I was looking about, I spotted a hard copy edition from 1965 of The Oxford Book of Welsh Verse, used, in Welsh for $4.00. Sure enough Nant y Mynydd was in there. I asked my mother a few years ago if she could write down what she remembered of the poem and send it to me so that i could read it to my students. My mother died in June and with her, I thought, this poem. Tonight I found the poem and as I begin next month teaching Tennyson's Idylls of the King, I will now have some Welsh verse to read to them so that they can hear the non-Latinized tongue of the British Isles.
