When the late Seamus Heaney passed away in August I was reading some of his earlier poems in Death of a Naturalist and this one in particular seemed ideal for adding a melody. I had half an idea and ran it passed the brilliant Dave McKeown and he agreed to help. This is the result. All of the magical sounds you hear, that fantastic flute and those magical strings, are Dave's. He also mixed the whole track. Hope you enjoy.

Twice Shy by Seamus Heaney

Her scarf a la Bardot,
In suede flats for the walk,
She came with me one evening
For air and friendly talk.
We crossed the quiet river,
Took the embankment walk.

Traffic holding its breath,
Sky a tense diaphragm:
Dusk hung like a backcloth
That shook where a swan swam,
Tremulous as a hawk
Hanging deadly, calm.

A vacuum of need
Collapsed each hunting heart
But tremulously we held
As hawk and prey apart,
Preserved classic decorum,
Deployed our talk with art.

Our Juvenilia
Had taught us both to wait,
Not to publish feeling
And regret it all too late -
Mushroom loves already
Had puffed and burst in hate.

So, chary and excited,
As a thrush linked on a hawk,
We thrilled to the March twilight
With nervous childish talk:
Still waters running deep
Along the embankment walk.
