Explore "The Kalevala" by Elias Lönnrot on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the ancient times a mother / Hatched and raised some swans and chickens, / Placed the chickens in the brushwood, / Placed her swans upon the river;
Came an eagle, hawk, and falcon, / Scattered all her swans and chickens, / One was carried to Karyala, / And a second into Ehstland, / Left a third at home in Pohya.
