On Raglan Road |
| [00:05.76] |
on an Autumn Day, |
| [00:10.23] |
I saw her first and knew |
| [00:20.18] |
That her dark hair |
| [00:25.00] |
would weave a snare |
| [00:31.19] |
that I might one day rue. |
| [00:40.80] |
I saw the danger, |
| [00:45.80] |
and I passed |
| [00:50.76] |
Along the enchanted way |
| [01:00.32] |
And I said let grief be a falling leaf |
| [01:09.94] |
At the dawning of the day. |
| [01:21.68] |
On Grafton Street in November, |
| [01:31.20] |
We tripped lightly along the ledge |
| [01:40.27] |
Of a deep ravine where can be seen |
| [01:50.80] |
The worst of passions pledged. |
| [02:00.54] |
The Queen of Hearts still baking tarts |
| [02:11.35] |
And I not making hay, |
| [02:22.11] |
oh I loved too much;and by such, by such |
| [02:34.54] |
Is happiness thrown away. |
| [02:42.54] |
|
| [02:47.16] |
I gave her gifts of the mind. |
| [02:55.26] |
I gave her the secret sign |
| [03:05.37] |
That's known to the artists who have Known |
| [03:15.18] |
the true Gods of Sound and stone. |
| [03:27.58] |
and word and tint without a stint. |
| [03:36.44] |
I gave her poems to say |
| [03:47.19] |
With her own name there and her own dark hair |
| [04:02.11] |
Like the clouds over fields of May. |
| [04:42.80] |
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet, |
| [04:51.93] |
I see her walking now |
| [05:01.43] |
away from me, |
| [05:05.60] |
So hurriedly. |
| [05:11.74] |
My reason must allow, |
| [05:21.75] |
That I have loved, |
| [05:26.63] |
not as I should |
| [05:31.65] |
A creature made of clay. |
| [05:42.94] |
When the angel woos the playing loose |
| [05:55.38] |
here's wings at the dawn of day. |
