Hi David

I hadn't seen your question to me before today. Late reply:

Partially that, and the easy shift from "I" to "we," as well as "our remembered refuge" and "my village and the Moelwyns look the same." The entire poem, really.

No one would entirely know whether the village and the Moelwyns looked the same unless he'd been there before. Some houses may have disappeared, the forest or lack thereof could have changed, and so on. So the reader is left with a magical impression, at least if that mystery is allowed to work.

Holiday cheers!

Terese
