Nora J Murray (1888–1955) was an Irish poet and school teacher at the heart of the Ardclough Sedition Case, when her teaching of Irish history was the subject of a complaint by a Unionist landlord Bertram Hugh Barton (1858-1927) in the aftermath of the 1916 rebellion. "The Wind Upon the Heath" was published by William Butler Yeats’ publisher Maunsel & Co in 1918.
