'Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall
Confident that we have built our wall.'

From shy beginnings to precious moments as a young married couple to looking back over nearly 50 years together, Seamus Heaney celebrated his wife Marie throughout each phase of their relationship. Today, these poems resonate with lovers around the world, becoming some of the most popular classics to read at ceremonies of love and devotion.
