  Seamus Heaney

  "Religion‘s never mentioned here", of course.

  "You know them by their eyes," and hold your tongue.

  "One side‘s as bad as the other," never worse.

  Christ, it‘s near time that some small leak was sprung

  In the great dykes the Dutchman made

  To dam the dangerous tide that followed Seamus.

  Yet for all this art and sedentary trade

  I am incapable. The famous

  Northern reticence, the tight gag of place

  And times: yes, yes. Of the "wee six" I sing

  Where to be saved you only must save face

  And whatever you say, you say nothing.

  Smoke-signals are loud-mouthed compared with us:

  Manoeuvrings to find out name and school,

  Subtle discrimination by addresses

  With hardly an exception to the rule

  That Norman, Ken and Sidney signalled Prod

  And Seamus (call me Sean) was sure-fire Pape.

  O land of password, handgrip, wink and nod,

  Of open minds as open as a trap,

  Where tongues lie coiled, as under flames lie wicks,

  Where half of us, as in a wooden horse

  Were cabin‘d and confined like wily Greeks,

  Besieged within the siege, whispering morse.
