Yr Hwiangerddi
Transcribed from the 1911 Ab Owen, Llanuwchllyn edition by David Price
"Yr Hwiangerddi" by Sir Owen Morgan Edwards is a collection of Welsh nursery rhymes, likely compiled in the early 20th century. This work serves as a significant cultural treasure, reflecting the traditional melodies and lyrics that were integral to childhood in Wales. The collection captures the innocence, humor, and rich linguistic heritage of Welsh folk culture, making it a valuable resource for those interested in language, education, or folklore. The opening of "Yr Hwiangerddi" provides insight into the motivations and emotional connections behind these nursery rhymes. Edwards shares reflections on the deep-rooted tradition of lullabies sung by mothers to soothe their children and engage them in play. He explores the role these rhymes serve in education and the development of children in Welsh culture. The text emphasizes the nostalgia associated with childhood and the fond memories that arise from such simplistic yet profound experiences, urging readers to appreciate the cultural significance of these nursery rhymes as educational tools and cherished childhood memories.
