Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...The brods stan' wide, lichts dance afore his een, There, by the fire-licht's bricht, unsteady gleam He sees a face' O God! was it a dream? "'Tis she! Her fair, mild face, an' peerless form Gazin' wi' thochtfu' e'e upon the storm!" 'Twas then, upon the blast, was heard that wail That turn'd fair Jessie's cheek to ashes pale. Nae sooner frae the pane the head withdrew, Than doun the lane, like lichtnin', Willie flew; No' for the warl' wad he by them be seen In sic a plicht, sae wretched, lost, an' mean. His darlin' object gain'd, he took the road Back to auld Ayr, his heart still blessin' God; Though, a' that day, he hadna tasted meat, Even yet, he didna feel inclin'd to eat: Thretty lang miles, an' mair, through storm an' rain He tramp'd, yet neither felt fatigue nor pain, Except a glowin' heat within his brain. A' nicht he travell'd, but when mornin' brak, His broo, wi' inward pain, was like to crack; Then a' at ance his strength began to fail, His sicht gaed frae him, lips an' cheeks grew pale; He couldna stan', sae wisely laid him doun, Sune heavy slumber press'd his lids abune. But fate ordain'd lang there he shouldna lie; Belyve, the Glesca' carrier cam' by, Saw on the road what seem'd a deem' man, Sae kindly lifted him into his van, Took him to Ayr, nor left him till he saw His patient to the toun's-hoose borne awa There, in a dangerous state, we're forced to lea' him--Puir, luckless Will, we'll aiblins nae mair see him! For his life's chance I wadna gi'e a bodle, Sae back ance mair to Glesca' let us toddle. 122 DREAMS WHILES COME TRUE. That nicht, nor May nor Jessie closed an e'e, But blissfu' were the dreams o' Edwin Lee. He fondly thocht he was at hame ance mair, Enraptured, wandering by his native Ayr, An' wha but...

"The Wanderings of Oisin" is a narrative poem by W. B. Yeats that delves into themes of aging, nostalgia, and the passage of time. Drawing from Irish mythology and legend, the poem follows the ancient hero Oisin, who returns to Ireland after spending three centuries in the mythical land of Tír na nÓg with the fairy princess Niamh. As Oisin recounts his adventures and reflects on the changes that have occurred in his absence, he grapples with a sense of displacement and loss in a world vastly different from the one he knew. Through vivid descriptions and lyrical language, Yeats evokes a sense of longing for a glorious past while also exploring the inevitable dissonance between memory and reality. The poem captures the tension between the desire for eternal youth and the reality of mortality, as Oisin comes to terms with the transient nature of life and the inevitability of change. "The Wanderings of Oisin" stands as a poignant meditation on the passage of time, the complexities of memory, and the enduring power of myth and storytelling.
