Will Hopkin, a Welsh bard from the 1770s, wrote many songs in honor of Ann Thomas, known as the Maid of Cefn Ydfa. One of his most famous songs, "Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn" or "Watching the Wheat," tells the story of his hapless love for Ann through its lyrics and melody. The song describes how as young and foolish people, they fell in love while strolling country lanes and seeing the wheat fields together. However, their love was ultimately not meant to be.
