– Interview ( 2nd ) with Mr. Evan M. Jones on the subject
of a poem, ” Y Bwthyn Bach To Gwellt.”
It was necessary to procure a copy of the poem mentioned above. The poem itself was parodied at an eisteddfod ( See Interview No. L Welsh-American eisteddfodau…..Informants– Mrs. Ellen Roberts and Mrs. L.O. Davis ) – by a man from another town.
The poem, according to Mr. Jones, was written by a man from West Pawlet, Vermont. The man’s son is living in that town now. The informant was unable to tell me any other details about the composer. The poem has been set to music. References as to where the musical score could be found were given.
The subject of the poem is the faith that a child had in his old grandmother. During a lightning and thunder storm the child has no fear because his grandmother is present. The title means, “In a little thatched-roofed cottage.”
