Francis Ledwidge By Grace Hazard Conkling (Killed in action July 31, 1917) Nevermore singing Will you go now, Wearing wild moonlight On your brow. The moon's white mood In your silver mind Is all forgotten. Words of wind From off the hedgerow After rain, You do not hear them; They are vain. There is a linnet Craves a song, And you returning Before long. Now who will tell her, Who can say On what great errand You are away? You whose kindred Were hills of Meath, Who sang the lane-rose From her sheath, What voice will cry them The grief at dawn Or say to the blackbird You are gone?

Poet of the Month Poetry Contest What's New? ... Contact Us Francis Ledwidge Born August 19, 1887 Died July 31, 1917 The Irish poet Francis Ledwidge was born 19 August 1887, at a time when Britain governed Ireland. He was the son of Patrick Ledwidge and Anne Lynch, labourers, and was their eighth child. They lived in a small cottage in Janeville, Slane, and after Patrick suddenly died, Francis had to help his mother labour in the fields of local farmers. When he became older he apprenticed in grocery shops in Drogheda and then Dublin. He left Dublin soon after he arrived, walking 30 miles back to his home in Slane, and started writing his "first poem" the very night he left. He then worked as a road builder and miner. Francis Ledwidge actually first wrote verse on a school slate, and after that he wrote anywhere and everywhere that he could. A piece of stone he wrote on with the charred end of a stick is still in existencein a museum dedicated to him at his cottage home. Eventually, a fellowworker sent one of his poems to a local paper, and it was accepted. After one of his poems was published in The Drogheda Independence , he contributed regularly to the paper. His contributions were accepted and published in several local papers, and he received local praise. Encouraged by this, he sent a notebook of his poems to the famous Lord Dunsany, who liked them and introduced Francis Ledwidge into Dublin's literary world, becoming his mentor and close friend.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Francis Ledwidge, 1887-1917 Michael has created a masterpiece in his new CD release titled "Behind the Closed Eye". As he points out in the liner notes, much of this new album is an inspiration by the poetry of Francis Ledwidge. Michael states that " beneath the gentle surface of Ledwidge's work runs a direct line to the ancient nature poets of Ireland, where beautiful, natural imagery conceals a poetic truth ." For those of us unfamiliar with the many great poets of Eire, I have come up with some history on Ledwidge and would like to share it with you all. Hopefully this will give a better insight into the man who helped inspire Michael in composing this new CD. And for those of you who have not had the oppurtunity to hear the new CD yet, by all means, get it. A delightful treat, as usual. The following is an excerpt from the Irish Times in which a story was written on the celebration of Ledwidge's death 80 years ago. The story is titled "An Irishman's Diary" by Tom Farrell: Grocer's apprentice Francis Ledwidge was born outside the village of Slane on August 19th, 1887, the second youngest in a family of four brothers and three sisters born to Anne and Patrick Ledwidge. He left school at 14 and his first recorded poem

Updated - Thursday, 7 March, 2002 Francis Ledwidge (1887-1917), the Irish nationalist and poet, was born in Slane on 19 August 1887 the son of a poor labourer. Leaving school at the age of 14 he worked in various manual labour positions while developing a love for and honing his own poetical talents. It was in 1911 that Ledwidge first received notable recognition for his poetry. Having sent a collection of his poems to well-known author Lord Dunsany he received a favourable response, Dunsany assuming the role of mentor to Ledwidge, introducing him to the Dublin literary scene. Although possessing moderate Irish nationalist views Ledwidge nevertheless signed up with the British Army - the Irish Volunteers in October 1914 - to serve in France and Flanders during World War One, on the basis that it was unreasonable to expect others to fight for the freedoms that he would later enjoy. Despite his initial reluctance to enlist he nevertheless argued that his service with the British during World War One was in no way incompatible with his nationalist views: rather, he believed he was furthering the cause of Irish independence from Britain. One year after war began, in 1915, and while serving abroad on active duty Ledwidge saw an initial volume of fifty of his poems published as
