1
On Raglan Road of an Autumn Day,
2
I saw her first and knew
3
That her dark hair would weave a snare
4
That I might one day rue.
5
I saw the danger, and I passed
6
Along the enchanted way
7
And I said let grief be a falling leaf
8
At the dawning of the day.
9
On Grafton Street in November,
10
We tripped lightly along the ledge
11
Of a deep ravine where can be seen
12
The worst of passions pledged.
13
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
14
And I not making hay,
15
Oh I loved too much; and by such by such
16
Is happiness thrown away.
17
I gave her gifts of the mind.
18
I gave her the secret sign
19
That's known to the artists who have known
20
That true gods of sound and stone.
21
And word and tint without stint.
22
I gave her poems to say
23
With her own name there and her own dark hair
24
Like the clouds over fields of May.
25
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet,
26
I see her walking now
27
Away from me, so hurriedly.
28
My reason must allow,
29
That I have loved, not as I should
30
A creature made of clay.
31
When the angel woos the clay, he'll lose
32
His wings at the dawn of the day.
