Then cried Finnuala: "Come hither Lir, We are thy children, Lir, we are thy four. Eefi has changed us into swans." Then Lir Stood for a time as one who has been stunned, And all his people raised three long loud cries THE CHILDREN OF LIB. 55 Of grief and lamentation, till the woods Quivered to hear the long-drawn cry of pain. Then at the last Lir asked if any means Could bring them to their rightful shapes again. Answered Finnuala: "There is no hope, No help, no consolation for us four, Until a... Prince from out the North shall wed A Princess from the South, until, there come The Tailcinn into Erin teaching things We never heard before, until there sound The first clear tone of Christian bell (whate'er The Christian bell may be), so long-we must Be in the form of swans — so Eefi said.'' And then again the people raised three cries Of grief and misery, until the fowl Rose frighted from the reeds, until the fish Darted belpw the surface far away, And the trees trembled through their inmost leaves.
