Raglan Road - Orla Fallon[00:00:00]
On Raglan Road on an autumn day[00:00:09]
I saw her first and knew[00:00:17]
That her dark hair would weave a snare[00:00:24]
That I might one day rue[00:00:31]
I saw the danger yet I walked[00:00:37]
Along the enchanted way[00:00:44]
And I said Let grief be a falling leaf[00:00:50]
At the dawning of the day[00:00:59]
On Grafton Street in November[00:01:09]
We tripped lightly along the ledge[00:01:14]
Of a deep ravine where can be seen[00:01:20]
The worth of passion's pledge[00:01:27]
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts[00:01:33]
And I not making hay[00:01:40]
Oh I loved too much and by such by such[00:01:46]
Is happiness thrown away[00:01:54]
I gave her the gifts of the mind[00:02:04]
I gave her the secret sign that's known[00:02:09]
To the artists who have known the true[00:02:16]
Gods of sound and storm[00:02:23]
And word and tint I did not stint[00:02:29]
For I gave her poems to say[00:02:36]
With her own name there and her long black hair[00:02:43]
Like clouds over fields of May[00:02:50]
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet[00:03:01]
I see her walking now[00:03:10]
Away from me so hurriedly[00:03:17]
My reason must allow[00:03:23]
That I had ruled not as I should[00:03:31]
A creature made of clay[00:03:37]
When the angel woos the clay he'll lose[00:03:45]
His wings at the dawn of day[00:03:56]
