Welsh ballad - 'Y Cusan Olaf' (The Last Kiss] by Dewi Peris Jones, page 1
Description
This ballad by Dewi Peris Jones, entitled 'Y Cusan Olaf' [The Last Kiss], tells the sad tale of a slate quarryman who was killed at the quarry shortly after kissing his daughter for the last time. Only a few hours before his tragic accident, his only daughter, 7-year-old Mary Jones, had visited the quarry, to deliver her father's lunch. Little did he know, as he greeted his young daughter and kissed her, that this would be the last time that they would meet. The story is all the more sad when it is revealed that Mary's mother had died when she was only three months old.
