Destruction of the Four Cities

The sea has claimed all

Our pride has sunk below

Where once flags flapped bright

No sign or ruin gives note

Tall spires were felled low

White walls crashed down like foam

The waves have rolled through

Our hearths are dead and cold

Fair gems have waned dark

Their light shines no longer

All songs have ceased now

The joyful live no more

A cloud has risen here

It's shadow leads the van

The Tuatha Dé Danann abandoned Murias, Falias, Gorias and Findias in the northern islands of the world and colonized Ireland. In my interpretation, the cities sank beneath the ocean.
