The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems
By W. B. Yeats
W. B. Yeats's first major collection, published in 1889, takes its title from a long narrative poem based on Irish legend. In it, the old warrior-poet Oisin tells Saint Patrick how the fairy Niamh carried him away to three enchanted islands, where he spent three hundred years before returning to a Christian Ireland. The book also gathers early lyrics and ballads that show the young Yeats drawing on Irish myth and folklore.
