Seamus Heaney
Poems 1965-1975
Door into the Dark (1969)
Shoreline
Turning a corner, taking a hill
In County Down, there's the sea
Sidling and settling to
The back of a hedge. Or else
A grey bottom with puddles
Dead-eyed as fish.
Haphazard tidal craters march
The corn and the grazing.
All round Antrim and westward
Two hundred miles at Moher
Basalt stands to.
Both ocean and channel
Froth at the black locks
On Ireland. And strands
Take hissing submissions
Off Wicklow and Mayo.
Take any minute. A tide
Is rummaging in
At the foot of all fields,
All cliffs and shingles.
