Niamh Chinn Γ“ir From TΓ­r na nΓ“g She Came

The Daughter of ManannΓ‘n Mac Lir

On A White Horse She Rode, Hair Of Flame

To Ireland To Find Her Lover There

πŸŒ€πŸŽπŸ’ƒπŸŽπŸŒ€

His Name Was Oisin. They Fell In Love.

So To The Land Of Eternal Youth

Across The Grey Sea Once More They Rode

They Lived In Joy, And To Themselves True

πŸŒ€πŸŽπŸ’ƒπŸŽπŸŒ€

Oisin Grew Restless In His New Home

Niamh Soothed Him With Her Loving Glance

But Her Golden Hair Was Not Enough

Homesick Oisin Rode Back To Ireland

πŸŒ€πŸŽπŸ’ƒπŸŽπŸŒ€

Then Oisin Fell To The Irish Ground

He Died, In Glenalmond, His Grave's Found

    She must've been really beautiful for her time. I like the way art and music inspire you.
