He felt bitterly let down when, in the middle of that war, in the aftermath of the Easter Rebellion in Dublin in 1916, the British authorities executed the leaders of this rebellion, one of whom was his friend, the poet Thomas MacDonagh. Notwithstanding his disillusion, he returned to the Front and was killed himself at the age of 29 in the Battle of Ypres in Belgium.

Co. Kildare Online Electronic History Journal An Electronic Journal for the publication of material relating to the history, archaeology and heritage of Co. Kildare. History and Family Research Centre (Local Studies, Genealogy and Archives) part of FRANCIS LEDWIDGE - MEATH POET'S LIFE RECALLED BY KILDARE WOMAN Leinster Leader 13 September 2007 Kildare author recalled life and loves of tragic Meath poet by LIAM KENNY Poetic imagination, love and war are a potent trio of circumstances which have inspired many volumes of verse written by men caught up in personal and political dilemmas. But the work of a poet, especially one with a complex personal story, needs the good offices of a skilled interpreter to rescue his verse from obscure printed volumes. Ninety-years ago Francis Ledwidge, of Slane, Co. Meath, was killed near Ypres, at just thirty years of age, in the interminable battles of the First World War. Alice Curtayne had a personal insight into the political dilemma of Ledwidge; her brother Richard had also straddled the fluid strands of Irish sentiment in the era of the First World War. He had been a member of the Irish Volunteers and later joined the Irish Guards regiment of the British Army; he died at the battle of the Somme in September 1916. Returning to Francis Ledwidge it is worth recalling at least some of the threads of his short life. As early as school years he showed poetic talent, entertaining class-mates with rhymes on the issues of the day. Forced by family poverty to leave school at fourteen, he worked as a roads labourer, a farm hand, and in a copper mine. The dire treatment of workers at the time radicalised him and he became active in labour issues and, beyond that, in freedom of all kinds for the Irish working people. There were stirring influences emerging in early 1900s: Sinn Fein, the GAA and the Gaelic League all stimulated the ardent Ledwidge.

The Poet's Poet by Elizabeth Atkins Part 6 out of 6 FullBooks.com homepage Index of The Poet's Poet Previous part (5) kinds of poets, who attempt to imitate many aspects of human life. But surely our catalogue does not show just this. There is no multiform picture of the poet here. The pendulum of his desire vibrates undeviatingly between two points only. Sense and spirit, spirit and sense, the pulse of his nature seems to reiterate incessantly. There is no poet so absorbed in sensation that physical objects do not occasionally fade into unreality when he compares them with the spirit of life. Even Walt Whitman, most sensuous of all our poets, exclaims, Sometimes how strange and clear to the soul That all these solid things are indeed but apparitions, concepts, non-realities. On the other hand there is no poet whose taste is so purely spiritual that he is indifferent to sensation. The idealism of Wordsworth, even, did not preclude his finding in sensation An appetite, a feeling and a love That had no need of a remoter charm By thought supplied.

In June 1915 he was sent to Gallipoli and saw action in Lemnos and Serbia. He had returned to Ireland on sick leave at the time of the Easter Rising in 1916, and was deeply distressed to learn of the execution of former comrades by his present comrades.

The son of an evicted tenant-farmer, Ledwidge was born in Slane, County Meath, Ireland. After leaving school at twelve, he worked as a miner and labourer while becoming an active trades unionist, local councillor and Secretary of the Slane Corps of the Irish Volunteers, and, from his teens, a poet. In 1912 Ledwidge sent a copybook of early poetry to the writer, Lord Dunsany, who became a friend and helped him in various ways, including arranging for the publication of his poetry. Ledwidge, once a great supporter of Home Rule, joined the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in October 1914, noting that the British Army was defending against 'an enemy common to our civilisation.' He fought at Gallipoli, then in Salonika in late 1915, from where he was invalided out to Egypt and then to the UK. On sick leave he heard of the Easter Rising in Dublin in April 1916, and the subsequent executions by men wearing the uniform he now wore. This upset and grieved him greatly. He was sent to the Western Front a year later and was at work on a road when a stray shell killed him on 31 July at the start of the Third Battle of Ypres.

Poetry Poets Essays Forums Soliloquy When I was young I had a care Lest I should cheat me of my share Of that which makes it sweet to strive For life, and dying still survive, A name in sunshine written higher Than lark or poet dare aspire. But I grew weary doing well. Besides, 'twas sweeter in that hell, Down with the loud banditti people Who robbed the orchards, climbed the steeple For jackdaws' eyes and made the cock Crow ere 'twas daylight on the clock. I was so very bad the neighbours Spoke of me at their daily labours. And now I'm drinking wine in France, The helpless child of circumstance. To-morrow will be loud with war, How will I be accounted for? It is too late now to retrieve A fallen dream, too late to grieve A name unmade, but not too late To thank the gods for what is great; A keen-edged sword, a soldier's heart, Is greater than a poet's art. And greater than a poet's fame A little grave that has no name. Leave a guest comment (subject to review) Subject Comment: Name: (required) Email: (required, hidden from spam)
