Land of Forever Youth Part Three

then he began telling the story of the magical land and his love tears rolling down his cheeks broken hearted in the magical land of Tir Na Nog just as he was ending the story in great weariness with the pain inside his heart swept completely away in feelings of painful emotion closing his eyes he fell into eternal slumber even to this very day fishermen and lighthouse keepers they sometimes see on foggy nights when the moon is full face a shimmering white horse dancing on the top of the waves along the shores of Ireland Niamh the red haired maiden still rides the horse forever searching for her lost love , her soul will never rest until she finds her beautiful Oisin in her his love never died . this story was told to me by a granny when i was young i cried it was so sad yet even now so beautiful
