On Raglan Road on an Autumn day I saw her first and knew
F C G
that her dark hair would weave a snare that I would some day rue
F C G
I saw the danger yet I walked along the enchanted way
C F C G C
and I said 'let grief be a falling leaf at the dawning of the day'

On Grafton Street in November we walked lightly along the ledge
F C G
of a deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion's pledge
F C G
the queen of hearts still making tarts and I not making hay
C F C G C
and I loved too much, and by such, by such is happiness thrown away
C F C G C
I gave her the gifts of the mind I gave her a secret sign
F C G
that's known to all the artists who have known true gods of sound and
tone
F C G
and word and tint I never did stint I gave her poems to say
C F C G
with her own name there and her long dark hair like clouds o'er the
fields
C
of May
C F C G C
on a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walking now
F C G
away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow
F C G
theta I have wooed not as I should a creature made of clay
C F C G C
when the angel woos the clay he'll lose his wings at the dawn of day

On Raglan Road on an Autumn day I saw her first and knew
F C G

F C G

C F C G C
and I said let grief be a falling leaf at the dawning of the day
