About John Cunningham
John Cunningham (1729 – 1773) was an irush poet and actor. The poetry of Cunningham is all written in a quiet, lifted strain. Some of his descriptions of natural scenery are very true and very pleasing in their simplicity; there is much tenderness and grace in his pastorals, but he never rises into passion, or allows himself to be carried away by poetic enthusiasm.Browse all poems and texts published on John Cunningham
