On Raglan Road on an autumn day 6 5 4 5-4 4 -4 4 I saw her first and knew 6 -6 6 -6 7 5 -4 4 That her dark hair would weave a snare 5 -5 6 5 7 5 -4 That I might one day rue 6 -6 6 -6 7 5 -4 4 I saw the danger and I passed 5-5 6 5 7 5 -4 Along the enchanted way 4 -4 5 -4 5 4 -4 5 6 -6 And I said: 'Let grief, be a fallen leaf 6 5 4 5-4 4 -4 4 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 Song text taken from stlyrics.com The worth of passion's pledge The Queen of Hearts still making tarts And I 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 signs That's known to the artists who have known The true gods of sound and stone And word and tint did not 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 walking now Away from me so hurriedly My reason must allow That had I 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 |
