About the author

Francis Ledwidge

1887–1917

Best known as an Irish World War I poet, he wrote with unusual tenderness about birds, fields, and ordinary country life even as war closed in around him. His poems carry both the quiet beauty of rural Meath and the heartbreak of a life cut short at just twenty-nine.
