Title: Francis Ledwidge Day 17-08-2010
Post by: GreenandGolden Bellfrog on Monday 16 August 10 05:13 BST (UK)

In Memory of Francis Ledwidge;

At  A Poets Grave.

When I leave down this pipe my friend
And sleep with flower I loved, apart,
My songs shall rise in wilding things
Whose roots are in my Heart

And here where that sweet poet sleeps
I hear the songs he left unsung,
When winds are fluttering the flowers
And summer-bells are rung.

Francis Ledwidge 1/08/1887-31/07/1917
November, 1916.

Francis was born in Co. Meath and if you are looking for details about the family I can moved your post to Meath board (or if you want details about his military service in WWI I can moved it to that board). If you let us know what you are looking for we'll try to help.
