Poem
smiling with so much love he kissed her gently on the lips holding her in his arms as he was leaving blowing her a kiss promising to return shortly jumping on the white horse smiling waved to her heading across the sea to the land of his birth soon the white mares hooves touched upon Irish soil Oisin began to see how much the land with everything around it had changed all his family also his friends had passed away no longer was there a grand castle instead it was completely covered in ivy almost in ruins he was so caught up in his emotion with heavy feelings of grief deep down inside he forgot to care for the beautiful white horse in spite of her hunger and fatigue she continued to respond to her riders request with a sad and lead heavy heart he turned towards the sea to head back to his love in Tir Na Nog as he was approaching the sea he came across a group of men working in the fields as the mare reached the group in her fatigue she began to stumbling clipping her hooves of a stone he bent down to pick up a rock planning to take it with him to Tir Na Nog as a keepsake full sure it would help ease his sadness taking a little piece of his homeland back with him but as his hand grasped the stone loosing his balance falling to the ground within moments he began aging 300 years without her rider the horse reared on her two front legs rushed towards the ocean returning to Tir Na Nog to her beloved Niamh as the men in the fields they witnessed this their eyes wide with amazement at first they saw a young man before their eyes transforming growing older they also saw an old plow horse changing as it neared the sea into the most beautiful silver white mare that they had ever seen as the came men walked across to Oisin's aid they carried this a feeble white haired old man to St Patrick when Oisin met St Patrick he began telling him about his family and his Fianna friends whom had disappeared 300 years before
