作曲：Traditional

on raglan road on an autumn day

i saw him first and knew

that his dark hair would weave a snare

that i might one day rue

i saw the danger and yet

i walked along the enchanted way

and i said let grief be a falling leaf

at the dawning of the day

on grafton street in november

we tripped lightly along the ledge

of a deep ravine where can be seen

the worth of passions play

the queen of hearts still making tarts

and i not making hay

but i loved too much by such and such

is happiness thrown away

i gave him the gifts of the mind

i gave him the secret sign

that's known to the artists

who have known true gods of sound and time

with word and tint i never did stint

i gave him reams of poems to say

with his own name there and his shiny black hair

like the clouds over fields of may

on a quiet street where old ghosts meet

i see him walking now

away from me so hurriedly

my reason my reason my reason my reason must allow

that i had wooed not as

i should a creature made of clay

when the angel woos the clay

he'll lose his wings at the dawn of the day
