Y hanesydd cerddoriaeth Malcom Douglas mewn trafodaeth ar wefan werin y Mudcat Cafe/ Folk historian Malcom Douglas in a discussion on Mudcat Cafe
"The family [of songs] is often called The Tree in the Wood or The Everlasting Circle, and is sung to a good few different tunes and in a good few different languages, but the basic content and the circular form doesn’t seem to vary all that much. As we know it now, it doesn’t mean a great deal, but essentially the same content also turns up in Asia (for example), where it has been used in Zen parables and the like. That doesn’t mean that it’s ever had any particularly deep meaning in Europe, but the human fascination with such things certainly goes back a long way."

Y PREN AR Y BRYN
Ar y bryn daeth pren
O bren braf!
Y pren ar y bryn
A’r bryn ar y ddaear
A’r ddaear ar ddim!
Ffeind a braf oedd y bryn
Lle tyfodd y pren.
Pennill olaf:
O’r plu daeth gwely,
O wely braf!
Y gwely o’r plu,
Y plu o’r cyw,
Y cyw o’r wy,
Yr wy o’r nyth,
Y nyth ar y gainc,
Y gainc ar y pren,
Y pren ar y bryn,
Y bryn ar y ddaear
A’r ddaear ar ddim!
Ffeind a braf oedd y bryn
Lle tyfodd y pren.
Y PREN AR Y BRYN - The Tree on the Hill
On the hill grew a tree
O fine tree!
The tree on the hill
And the hill on the earth
And the earth on nothing!
Fine was the hill
Where grew the tree.
Last verse:
From the feathers came a bed,
Oh fine bed;
the bed from the feathers,
the feathers from the chick,
the chick from the egg,
the egg from the nest,
the nest on the branch,
the branch on the tree,
the tree on the earth,
and the earth on nothing!
Fine was the hill
Where grew the tree.
