Ado Reinvald

Ado Reinvald (3 December 1847 Viljandi Parish, Viljandi County – 8 February 1922) was an Estonian poet.[1]

He was the owner of Ilissa farm near Tarvastu. Because of the initiative of Reinvald, the farm was transformed into the local cultural centre. In 1894, the centre went bankrupt.[1]

Reinvald died in 1922 and is buried at Raadi Cemetery in Tartu.[1]

Several of Reinvald's poems have been set to music. The most notable is "Kuldrannake" ('Golden Strand'), music by Aleksander Läte.[1]
