Welsh musical instrument.
1My crwth and song will rouse every spirit on the hills.'
2I'm goin' to play on my crwth and sing the same song now.
3If she wur alive her livin' mullo 'ud follow the crwth.
4I dessay you've often heard the sayin' "The sperrits follow the crwth."
5Then without saying another word Sinfi took up her crwth and moved towards the llyn.
6She then drew the bow across the crwth.
7She then took up her crwth, went round the llyn, and disappeared through the eastern cleft.
8Did I also remember the wild theories of my father and Fenella Stanley about the crwth?
9Now, you must hide yourself somewheres while I go and touch the crwth in her favourite place.
10At last there came clearly from her crwth the wild air I had already heard on Snowdon.
11You remember that mornin' when my crwth and song called Winnie to us at this very llyn?
12While I stood partially concealed in my crevice, Sinfi took up her crwth, which was lying on the rock.
13It's only when the crwth is played by a maid on the hills that the spirits can follow it.'
14As we were leaving the bungalow the next day, I said to Sinfi, 'You are not taking your crwth.'
15Was when listening to Sinfi's crwth, or rather when listening to her song, as evidence that Winifred was alive?
16Doubtless this is why among the Welsh hills the old saying used to be "The spirits follow the crwth."'
