About this book
A Celtic Psaltery, by Alfred Perceval Graves, describes itself as being mainly renderings in English verse from Irish & Welsh poetry. A dedication is addressed to the Right Hon. David Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Great Britain and Ireland. The text names Islwyn (William Thomas), who took his Bardic title from the hill of Islwyn in his native Monmouthshire. The text says Pantycelyn (the Rev. William Williams) was a co-worker with Howel Harris and Daniel Rowlands in the Methodist revival.
One poem in the book says goodbye with the words “Adieu, my little dancing one, Adieu, adieu, my son, my son!” A verse in the book prays, “Yet, O Good Shepherd, lead us back, Our lamb upon Thy breast, Safely along the narrow track.”
