The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 11, sentence 58
In their might they rose From Eyrus’ vales to utmost Cahirnane, From Oileen Arda on to Borda Lu, And where the loud wave breaks on Beara’s isle; And by the hallowed banks of Darvra’s lake Where, changed to swans, the Children Four of Lir, Dowerless on earth, their home the homeless waves, Darkling yet gladdening gloomier hearts with light, And sad yet solaced through one conquering hope, By song had vanquished sorrow.
Who acts: Twas, loud wave, homeless waves · What happens: rise, break, hallow, change, darkl, gladden · To what, where: vales, isle, sad, one conquering hope, sorrow
