poem/story 55

LIA LINDGADAIN

  1. Well I know the reason of the name of haughty Lindgadan's Stone: Lindgadan, whom we speak of, I trow, used to keep order in the host of the men of Erin.
  2. In the reign of proud Find son of Findtan he was a steward right severe: though he was the spencer of Ossory, he was crier of the ale-house.
  3. Once when he heard a clear voice, the echo answering him from the hollow rock yonder, he made towards it to take vengeance.
  4. The wave's crest overtook him, its bitter fury laid him low; so the music-deserted rock shattered the cunning man of the weariful crags.
