Barefoot Glyn
Barefoot Glyn from Porthdinllaen
After dark began
Up the cliff to reach the boy
Such a careful man
31st of August he
1976
Took off boots and socks to climb
Up the cliff to fix
80 feet above the sea
How to get him down
Coaxing carefully and slow
Brought him gently down
Glyn fell off the cliff to bounce
On the beach below
Battered - but a spring-heel man
Jumped up fast to show
How to board the boarding boat
Once he'd reached the ground
Picked the boy up - and his mate
Danger all around
Brave Glyn Roberts - lifeboat man
Coxswain John Scott too
Safely hauled the boys aboard
To the willing crew
Glyn's Bronze Medal brought his words
Showed his braveness clear
"I think they must have been short
Of heroes for that year"

After dark began
Up the cliff to reach the boy
Such a caring man
