I Will Go With My Father a-Ploughing

Irish poet Joseph Campbell (also wrote under the name Seosamh Mac Cathmhaoil, 1897-1944) who also wrote many songs, often collaborating with the fine composer/collector Herbert Hughes, but all except "Gartan Mother's Lullaby" and "My Lagan Love" have fallen into obscurity. His poetry is archived on the web—The Mountainy Singer is an excellent collection. Campbell was an orderly in the Easter Uprising in 1916. Disaffected with Irish politics, he moved to New York City in 1925, where he founded the school of Irish Studies at Fordham University. He returned to Ireland in 1939.
