Fanny Parnell

Fanny Parnell (1848–1882) was an Irish poet and nationalist, born at Avondale, County Wicklow, and a sister of Charles Stewart Parnell. She wrote fiery verse for the nationalist press, notably 'Hold the Harvest' (1879), and took an active part in the Land League agitation, dying at Bordentown, New Jersey, in 1882.

Lyra Celtica includes her lyric 'After Death'.
