Raglan Road, Autumn Day

Raglan Road on an Autumn Day


"On Raglan Road on an autumn day I met her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue;
I saw the danger, yet I walked along the enchanted way,
And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day."
'On Raglan Road' written by Patrick Kavanagh
