Happened to be teaching this today and thought I'd share as it's #PoetryDayIRL . Such a perfect example of a sonnet. My favourite poetic form. For me it's a little firework display of techniques. Amazing what Heaney achieves here in 14 lines.
Today is #PoetryDayIrl Here’s a poem written and recited by a young Irish Poet.

Una mano che
ti aiuta a rialzarti
è molto più importante
di mille gesti che ricevi
quando sei in piedi.
