The Poet's Burial for Love

"The Poet's Burial for Love" (Welsh: Claddu'r Bardd o Gariad or Claddu y Bardd o Gariad) or "The Poet's Burial" (Welsh: Angladd y Bardd) is a Welsh-language love poem in the form of a cywydd in which the poet foresees his own death from unrequited love. It was formerly attributed to the 14th-century Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwilym, but in 1952 was rejected from the canon of his works by Dafydd's editor, Thomas Parry and is now widely considered to be a 15th-century poem of uncertain authorship. The poem has nevertheless remained very popular with translators and it continues to appear in anthologies, including Thomas Parry's own Oxford Book of Welsh Verse.
