W A L E S - 
THE LAND OF THE RED DRAGON


By Josie Whitehead

Land of the Red Dragon (The)

Welsh mountains: rocky, rough and tough
     And those with softer peaks.
Welsh coastal beaches: soft, clean sand;
     Small coves and hidden creeks.

​

Puffins, dolphins, seals and gulls
     Abound the Welsh coastline,
But, deep within the Welsh forests,
     Find bluebells ‘neath the pine.

​

Welsh woodlands come alive at dawn 
     With warbler, blackbird, wren,
And you may see some fallow deer
     Who hide from eyes of men.

​

Come to the rural countryside
      And in the fields you’ll see
Welsh sheep whose thick wool fleeces
     Make warm clothes for you and me.

​

There’s more to Wales than country life:
     Five cities - did you know?
And within these cities, tall and proud,
     The heart of business grows.
