We read this at school, and at the time I never really appreciated it. Now, 20 years on, it is one of my favourite poems. I can still hear my English teacher's voice as she read it.
Yeah about girls going through puberty and breasts growing. And the guys hitting puberty and wanting girls. And then the childhood innocence always disappearing once youth grows to adolescent years. We all want the youth joy and innocence to last and it never does.
It's the way he reads this, with that beautiful lilt in his voice and the passion for his childhood and blackberry picking. I could listen to this over and over again, soothing, beautiful. I can almost taste that first blackberry.
I had the honour of meeting home. It was in a restaurant in Co. Wicklow where he lived. I was 5 and the waiters and waitresses had planned to give me a cake at the table and sang me happy birthday and he was in the corner and wished me a happy birthday.
Such a lovely man, poet his words visual in memories and tears words deep in my heart Bless you, Seamus, for this and especially Clearances and wish I was pulling and folding sheets with my mother
Oh How I would love to talk to this man. The sound of his voice sounds like Sligo. When visiting my Grandmothers house in Mulaghmore and cousins" The Feeney's" I walked a lane with rock walls and tons of beautiful blackberries. Their Grand Mother is buried next to Wm.Butler Yeats in Drumcliff. Alas, at 80 years old no more travel. What a great Poet. yvonne
Just in from that late august rain and rewarded with a bountiful blackberry harvest. And to complement my spoils of the hedges I had to have Seamus. Go raibh Maith agat.
Derry born (county not the city), and not far from where Heaney was raised. I HATE his slurred QUB/Harvard accent. But I love his poetry. His metre is bang on, and he transports me to magical places.

And hopefully someday you'll be grateful to that teacher. This is poetry at its best and most beautiful. It's got the whole package: the imagery, the five senses, and the allegory of life and death.
lm sorry, did I missed something? maybe I did , maybe I'm an old fashioned poetry reader ? Maybe sun rimes better with fun , run , cancun. ....maybe poetry doesn't have to be such a mystery ..... This man made the poetry a complicated mystery that will give you at the end a painful headache. Now , you explain me how a 12 years old student must to remember or analise that poem ( if you can call it poem )
Just passable. It's basically just slightly elegant prose put into lines with a few pretty but unexceptional images. Still a good deal better than his interminable Nobel acceptance speech, though. At least this is concise and has a theme.
Don't worry about it. Sometimes on TH-cam I can be a bit of ass, and it is down to my lack of recognition for my own poetry I sometimes put comments up like these. I do find his work overrated, though.

Such a powerful metaphor for life and death. Youthful naivety and exuberance inevitably turning into resignation and decay.

@Sadaf Sahin idk lol
I went to the Seamus Heany centre last year. It was amazing. We read this exact poem, and we shared the joy of his poems.
Stfu
@@adamcraft7888 hahahaha
Listening to him read his poetry makes me cry I don’t know why
Having Irish heritage (both my late parents), I could not but love poems by "Seamus Heaney" , love this poem!
I get such a lump in my throat hearing this.
Me too!
Just in from that late august rain and rewarded with a bountiful blackberry harvest. And to complement my spoils of the hedges I had to have Seamus.
Go raibh Maith agat.
The blackberries are amazing this year (2021) ... very few maggots!
Now I love my mom more for cooking our little tins-ful into jam and pie
Salivating right now, mid-winter!
Thank u for the homework

Forced? This is privilage.
Is this about sex?
no

I first read this poem at school when I was about 12 or 13. Learned it by heart and have never forgotten it, I'm now in my 50s.
hi seamy
Poems aren’t written to be analysed, they’re written to be enjoyed, to be lost in.

Your comment tastes even more bitter than an unripe blackberry. Get over it.
You're right. I am being a bit bitter. I admit you have a point.
Iain Robb Apologies Iain, it was too quick a reaction from my side. Maybe I am just a bit of a brier myself this evening.
