Draw dros y don
A famous poem about Avallon (part of T. Gwyn Jones's ode Ymadawiad Arthur) begins with a line which is usually quoted as Draw dros y don mae bro dirion nad ery "Yonder across the waves is a gentle land where there does not remain..." etc. This has 11 syllables, when each of the other 14 lines has only ten syllables. Is there a mistake here? Should the word draw be omitted, as the Wikisource text does? Can anyone explain?
