A beautiful and meaningful art print of “Scaffolding” by Seamus Heaney — a poem about trust, partnership, and building something strong together. Printed in an elegant serif font and framed by soft watercolor foliage in calming shades of green, this piece brings a modern botanical aesthetic to a timeless literary favorite.
Perfect for celebrating love that’s built on effort and care, this print makes a heartfelt wedding gift, anniversary gift, or meaningful piece for couples starting a new chapter. The message gently reminds us that strong relationships remain steady, even when surface structures fall away — because the foundation is solid.

“Masons, when they start upon a building,
Are careful to test out the scaffolding;
Make sure that planks won’t slip at busy points,
Secure all ladders, tighten bolted joints.
And yet all this comes down when the job’s done
Showing off walls of sure and solid stone.
So if, my dear, there sometimes seem to be
Old bridges breaking between you and me
Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall
Confident that we have built our wall.”
