I r is h   P o e t r y

 On the page "Irish Poetry" you will find a few poems written by  my great great great grandfather, poet and author William Ledger.  I had known about William for a long time, but it was only in recent years that I was delighted to discover his poetry amongst rare collections in the Limerick libraries, and also in Trinity College Dublin. 

William was a graduate of Trinity,  and he lived in Limerick with his wife Sarah Finucane who was a piano teacher.  They moved to London around 1839.  William and Sarah had at least two sons and seven daughters, possibly more, and their daughter Sarah was my great great grandmother.  I hope you will enjoy reading William's poems.
