Raglan Road On Raglan Road of an autumn day I saw her first and knew That her dark hair would weave a snare That I might one day rue I saw the danger and I passed Along the enchanted way And I said, "Let grief be a fallen leaf At the dawning of the day" On Grafton Street in November We tripped lightly along the ledge Of a deep ravine, where can be seen The worth of passion's pledge The Queen of Hearts, still making tarts And I'm not making hay Oh, I loved too much, and by such, by such Is happiness thrown away I gave her gifts of the mind I gave her the secret sign That's known to the artists who have known The true gods of sound and stone And word and tint without stint I gave her poems to say With her own name there, and her own dark hair Like clouds over fields of May On a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walkin' now Away from me so hurriedly My reason must allow That I had loved not as I should A creature made of clay When the angel woos the clay, he'd lose His wings at the dawn of day
