  Joseph Mary Plunkett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Mary Plunkett ( November 21, 1887 - May 4, 1916) was an Irish nationalist, poet, and leader of the Easter Rising in 1916.
Plunkett's interest in Irish nationalism spread throughout his family, notably to his younger brothers George and John, as well as his father, who allowed his property in Kimmage, north Dublin, to be used as a training camp for young men who wished to escape conscription in England during World War I.
Plunkett was one of the original members of the IRB Military Committee that was responsible for planning the rising, and it was largely his plan that was followed.

 This Month in Celtic History - November 2001
Often viewed as the tragic young poet of the 1916 Easter Rising, the sensitive-looking Joseph Mary Plunkett was in fact a key figure who with his friend Thomas MacDonagh shaped the strategy and drew up the operational plans for the insurrection.
He was related to the Blessed Oliver Plunkett who was executed by the English in 1681, and his living relatives included Horace Plunkett, founder of the Irish agricultural cooperatives movement, and the fantasy short-story writer Lord Dunsany.
As a highly educated gentleman of leisure, Joseph Plunkett could offer the movement a lot in the way of time and resources, despite an incurable case of tuberculosis of the neck glands that threatened to eventually kill him.

Grace Gifford is one of the tragic stories of the 1916 Easter Rising, but the poignancy of her brief marriage to the executed rebel leader Joseph Mary Plunkett has tended to obscure her deep commitment to the cause of the Irish Republic as well as to the memory of her late husband.
Apparently Joseph didn’t tell Grace of the impending insurrection, nor did he tell her the full truth that the chronic problems he was experiencing with his neck glands were in fact an advanced case of tuberculosis.
Grace and Joseph were at last married by special arrangement in the prison chapel on the morning he was to face the firing squad, and just before dawn given a last ten-minute visit together, accompanied by fifteen soldiers crammed with them into Joseph’s tiny cell.

Plunkett is clearly one of those people of a certain, possibly political, outlook, who see the Easter Passion as about the sacrifice more than the Glorious Resurrection.
But this poem was published several years before that sacrifice was on the cards and I for one think it is coincidental.

Shortly after the outbreak of World War I on August 4, 1914, the Supreme Council of the IRB met and, under the old dictum that "England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity", decided to take action sometime before the conclusion of the war.
The plan, largely devised by Plunkett (and apparently very similar to a plan worked out independently by Connolly), was to seize strategic buildings throughout Dublin in order to cordon off the city, and resist the inevitable attack by the British Army.
This was the battalion of the headquarters at the General Post Office, and included the President and Commander-in-Chief, Pearse, the commander of the Dublin division, Connolly, as well as Clarke, MacDermott, Plunkett, and a young captain named Michael Collins.
