‘To labour and not to seek reward,’ he prays,

A prayer his body makes entirely
A prayer his body makes entirely
For he has forgotten self, forgotten bird
For he has forgotten self, forgotten bird
And on the riverbank forgotten the river’s name. —Seamus Heaney
And on the riverbank forgotten the river’s name.
