Opencast is not sustainable economically because it does not meet the needs of the local people, create wealth or raise their living standards, in a way that is environmentally and socially acceptable. The environment and health of the economy are given less of a priority in favour of the short term economic gains made from the selling of opencast coal by private companies.
Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn (English: Watching The White Wheat) is a traditional Welsh love song.
It describes the tragic love affair between Wil Hopcyn and Ann Thomas Ann belonged to a wealthy family but Wil was only a thatcher. Ann's mother forced Ann into a marriage with Maddocks, the wealthy son of a landowner.
Wil left Llangynwyd. But Wil had a dream and returned home. Ann was dying, from a broken heart. Ann died in his arms that day.
Wil died in 1741, never having married. Both he and Ann are buried at Llangynwyd.
Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn
Mi sydd fachgen ieuanc ffôl.
Yn byw yn ôl fy ffansi
Myfi'n bugeilio'r gwenith gwyn,
Ac arall yn ei fedi.
Pam na ddôi di ar fy ôl,
Rhyw ddydd ar ôl ei gilydd?
Gwaith rwy'n dy weld, y feinir fach,
Yn lanach, lanach beunydd!
A simple youthful lad am I
Who loves at fancy's pleasure:
I fondly watch the blooming wheat,
Another reaps the treasure.
Oh! Wherefore still despise my suit,
Why sighing keep thy lover?
For some new charm, thou matchless fair,
I day by day discover.
