Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

Between heather and marigold.
Between sphagnum and buttercup,
Between dandelion and broom,
Between forget-me-not and honeysuckle,

As between clear blue and cloud,
Between haystack and sunset sky.
Between oak tree and slated roof,

I had my existence. I was there.
Me in place and the place in me.


Excerpt from the poem, A Herbal, from Human Chain, Poems, 
by Seamus Heaney, 2010.
