The Bog Cutters' Desertion

All the media reported his death.
Said, "The greatest Irish poet since Yeats,"
Noted how beloved and widely read
Around the world he was, all his awards.

But at the close of his acclaimed career,
The most widely quoted words he'd written
Were the last of the first poem he'd printed.
