On Raglan Road on an Autumn day I saw her first and knew
FA DO SOL
that her dark hair would weave a snare that I would some day rue
FA DO SOL
I saw the danger yet I walked along the enchanted way
DO FA DO SOL DO
and I said 'let grief be a falling leaf at the dawning of the day'
DO FA DO SOL DO
On Grafton Street in November we walked lightly along the ledge
FA DO SOL
of a deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion's pledge
FA DO SOL
the queen of hearts still making tarts and I not making hay
DO FA DO SOL DO
and I loved too much, and by such, by such is happiness thrown away
DO FA DO SOL DO
I gave her the gifts of the mind I gave her a secret sign
FA DO SOL
that's known to all the artists who have known true gods of sound and
tone
FA DO SOL
and word and tint I never did stint I gave her poems to say
DO FA DO SOL
with her own name there and her long dark hair like clouds o'er the
fields
DO
of May
DO FA DO SOL DO
on a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walking now
FA DO SOL
away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow
FA DO SOL
theta I have wooed not as I should a creature made of clay
DO FA DO SOL DO
when the angel woos the clay he'll lose his wings at the dawn of day
DO FA DO SOL DO
On Raglan Road on an Autumn day I saw her first and knew
FA DO SOL
that her dark hair would weave a snare that I might some day rue
FA DO SOL
I saw the danger yet I walked along the enchanted way
DO FA DO SOL DO
and I said let grief be a falling leaf at the dawning of the day
