POYEDA, Francisco (po-vay'-dah), Cuban poet, born in Havana in October, 1796 ; died in Sagua in 1881. When very young he went to Sagua la Grande, a small inland town, where he spent his life, becoming successively a shepherd, a ploughman, an actor, and a teacher. He has published several collections of poems, including "Guirnalda Habanera," " Ra-millete Podtieo," and "El tiple campesino," which are known by heart throughout the island by the country people ; " Las Rosas de Amor" (1831) ; "Leyendas Cubanas" (1846); a complete collection of his songs and poems (1863 ; 2d ed., 1879); and "El peon de Bayamo," a drama, which was performed in 1879. Poveda was known under the name of the" Trovador Cubano," or the Cuban troubadour, on account of his popularity and the nature of his poems.
