The devil himself is known for Stealth<\/p>\n
An with this reputation before him<\/p>\n
He travelled down to foil the Welsh<\/p>\n
In the county of Ceridigion<\/p>\n
Eager to strike a deal with anyone<\/p>\n
He came across an old woman who dearly wished<\/p>\n
To be able to cross the river with a bridge<\/p>\n
Which in just moments the devil could build…<\/p>\n
But though the woman was\u00a0old<\/p>\n
He bargained for a soul<\/p>\n
Of the first living thing to make a crossing<\/p>\n
Certain it would be the old woman herself<\/p>\n
But wait – what was that she was tossing?<\/p>\n
Was this in act of stealth<\/p>\n
To throw over the bridge bits of bread<\/p>\n
To be chased by her one true companion –<\/p>\n
A loyal and\u00a0lively little spaniel…<\/p>\n
So this was the soul the devil had earned<\/p>\n
Crossing the bridge he wished he had burned<\/p>\n
And due to his embarrassment and shame<\/p>\n
He vowed never to visit Ceridigion again –<\/p>\n
To this day Devil’s Bridge stands…<\/p>\n
Built by Satan’s own greedy hands<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
