Mossbawn: Two Poems in Dedication Published in North, in 1975 and dedicated to Mary Heaney.
1. Sunlight "Now she dusts the board with a goose's wing, now sits, broad-lapped, with whitened nails and measling shins: here is a space again, the scone rising to the tick of two clocks."
1. The Seed Cutters "They seem hundreds of years away. Brueghel, You'll know them if I can get them true. They kneel under the hedge in a half-circle Behind a windbreak wind is breaking through."
I can't believe the number of 'hits' the Seamus Heaney web sites are getting!

Read his obit in the NYT. The best Irish poet since god knows whom.
