Lyrics
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 falling leaf
At the dawning of the day
On Raglan Street in November
We tripped lightly along the ledge
Of a deep ravine where can be seen
The words of passions pledged
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
And I not making pay
Oh I loved too much and by such, by such
Is happiness thrown away
I gave her gifts of the mind
I gave her a secret sign
Known to the artists who have known
The true gods of sound and stone
And word and tint I 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 I had loved not as I should
A creature made of clay
When the angel moves the clay he'd lose
His wings at the drop of a clay
