Found the burial place of my great uncle Morris Hughes Parry, b.
Dinorwig 3 Sept 1849, d. Denver, Colorado 2 June 1918 (although his
headstone has his birth year wrong). He remained single all his life,
immigrating about 1863 to Salem, New York where he worked in the slate
quarries, then went West and became a partner in a ranch near
Saguache, Colorado about 1884, and later became a partner in a silver
mine near Cripple Creek, Colorado about 1912. He lived in Denver near
the end of his life, and died following surgery.
He is buried in Fairmont Cemetery in Denver. His headstone reads:
"Morris H. Parry
1852 - 1918
Ei enw 'n perarogli sydd,
A 'i hun mor dawel yw.
A native of Dinorwig, N. Wales"
He had good friends in Colorado, who I presume must have arranged his
burial and monument.
Can anyone help with the translation?

They are the words from a hymn:
His name is like perfume
and his sleep is so paeaceful.
