Blodwen dreams on life's side of the river.
"I've never seen you look so well, my sister.
No match is the bright sunrise,
For the sparkle of those amber eyes.
This river, it don't look so wide, my sister
Let me fetch a rowing boat.
Easily to us you'll float."
"Don't you fetch no rowing boat, my sister.
I'd love to be with you all again
But here I'm feeling no more pain."
"But Mama mourns and she can't weep, my sister.
Words of comfort bring no peace.
Sympathy brings no release."
"Give Mum my love when you awake, my sister.
Tell her everything you've seen.
I'm as happy as I've ever been."
"Mama, I've been dreamin' 'bout my sister."
Mama's tears rolled down in streams.
She believed in Blodwen's Dream.
"Mama I've been talkin' to my sister
