Ymhlith tyfiant planhigion yr haf, dyma ‘Lily ym mûsg y Drain’, sydd ar dudalen 23 o lawysgrif Bangor 2294 sef Llawysgrif Morris Edwards (gweler mwy o wybodaeth am Morris Edwards a’i lawysgrif yma). Sillafiad cyfoes y teitl fyddai ‘Lili ymysg y Drain’.
Mae fersiwn lleddf o’r alaw yn fwy adnabyddus na hon, a gellir ei chlywed (er enghraifft) gan Jem Hammond yn y fideo yma.
Gallwch fy nghlywed i’n chwarae ‘Lily ym Mûsg y Drain’ ar y ffidil trwy ddilyn y ddolen ar wa waelod y post hwn.

Among blooming plants of summer, this melody is called ‘Lily ym mûsg y Drain‘ which roughly translates to ‘Lily amidst the thorns’. It’s found on page 23 of Bangor Ms. 2294 (Maurice Edwards’ manuscript – see more information on Maurice Edwards and his manuscript here)
A better-known minor key version of this tune exists, played for instance in this video video by Jem Hammond.
