Tea with Ledwidge (Triptych)
This triptych inspired by the Meath born First World War poet Francis Ledwidge. 2017 was the centenary of his death. In particular a poem of his written after the loss of his sweetheart.
'To One Dead'
A blackbird singing
On a moss-upholstered stone,
Bluebells swinging,
Shadows wildly blown,
A song in the wood,
A ship on the sea.
The song was for you
and the ship was for me.
A blackbird singing
I hear in my troubled mind,
Bluebells swinging,
I see in a distant wind.
But sorrow and silence,
Are the wood's threnody,
The silence for you
and the sorrow for me.
by Francis Ledwidge
