SHOEMAKER, William Lukens, poet, born in Georgetown, D. C., 19 July, 1822. He is of Quaker descent. After graduation at Jefferson college in 1841 he entered the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, where he took his degree in 1846, but has never practised. He has written many poems, sonnets, and translations of German ballads and lyrics, but they have never been published in book-form. The best known of them are "The Sweetheart Bird-Song," which was set to music by Michael Balfe, " The Sabbath of the Year," and "'Twill Soon be Dark." Some of his verses are included in John J. Piatt's " Union of American Poetry and Art" (Cincinnati, 1880-'1).
