Merlins Hill on Tywi Valley in flood |
" MERLIN'S DREAM"
The rising sun was having
fun with the misty morning dew.
Carmarthen Town was feeling down hung over
from a few.
The schooner frail was setting sail for countries wide and
far,
And the girls all sang 'penillion' outside the Jolly Tar. |
Rainbow over the Towy Bridge |
Well, Merlin's Hill was standing still above the
Towy sound.
He cast his wand on Bishop's Pond and magic shone around.
The
river flowed beside the road down to the sandy bar,
And the girls all sang
'penillion' outside the Jolly Tar. |
Raymond
and Linda Rees |
Well, pots and pails and old wives tales and
legends long forgot.
Goodwill and cheer and poor man's beer frequent the
Coffee Pot. |
Merlins Hill over new Eastern Bypass |
He sold his ware in the market square to feed
his family fair.
He sold his charms in the Tanner's Arms without a second
care.
The wine was good and the men all would forget the new found
star,
But the girls all sang 'penillion' outside the Jolly Tar. |
County Hall
at night |
Well, fleece and geese and twelve police and
coracles on the quay,
The tide was wide by the riverside beneath the arches
three. |
Edward Wheeler, Queens Hotel |
Well, the ships no more caress the shore or kiss
the harbour way,
But Merlin's well and his magic spell adorns the precinct
grey.
The salmon pools and the grammar schools have long declined
afar,
But the girls still sing 'penillion' outside the Jolly Tar. |

Welcome ...
... to our 'new look' Carmarthenshire website. More changes are to come, what you see now is a layout which mixes the old with the new. This will allow us to introduce the update the site over a period of time rather than having to change the whole site at once. As a result of this it is possible that not all links will be working or that some sections of the site or of a page don't look as expected ... if you encounter any problems we appreciate your help ... please email us and let us know.
