Llecyn Barddonol - "Poet's Corner"

I’m continuing my “Light and hope” journey on Clecs. It’s more of wishing something nice to all then about poetry but anyway, here we go. I’ve posted this on Clecs 3 days ago. Enjoy.

And translation:

Water,
Water blue, water green,
Water endless, water pure,
Water which can give or take a life
Give if one is honest and take if one’s untrue.

Haven’t thought to visit this thread for a while - my attention has needed to be fixed in other directions for a while. What brings me back is this:-

“Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot,
We’ll weather the weather,
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not!”

Has anyone come across something similarly alliterative in Welsh?
Shall we try to write something like it?
Shorter maybe…!
