Question

Short appreciation of the ballad of father gilligan

Answer 1

Father Gilligan was very old and tired. The old priest used to attend to all the dying men and women of the village, praying for them as they lay on their death beds. He was often too tired, rushing from one place to the other. One evening, he fell asleep in his chair and woke up the next day morning, to hear that a poor man had died.

He was grief-stricken that he could not pray for the man and immediately rushed to his house. The man’s wife upon seeing him, told that the man died an hour after he left him! Immediately, Father Gilligan knew that the good Lord had sent one of his angels to stand in his place, while he slept.

The ballad of Father Gilligan was written by Irish poet William Butler Yeats (1865 – 1939).
