Myfanwy (a woman’s name derived from annwyl, beloved) is a popular Welsh song, composed by Joseph Parry and first published in 1875. Parry wrote the music to lyrics written by Richard Davies (’Mynyddog’; 1833-77). Some sources say it was written with Parry’s childhood sweetheart, Myfanwy Llywellyn, in mind, although the lyrics were probably inspired by the fourteenth-century love-story of Myfanwy Fychan of Dinas Brân, Llangollen and the poet Hywel ab Einion. That story was also the subject of the popular poem, ’Myfanwy Fychan’ (1858), by John Ceiriog Hughes (1832-87).
The song, although now considered by some rather old-fashioned, is still a favourite with Welsh male voice choirs. You will find more information regarding the poem in this link :)
