On Raglan Road on an Autumn day I saw her first and knew
that her dark hair would weave a snare that I would some day rue
I saw the danger 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 walked lightly along the ledge
of a deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion's pledge
the queen of hearts still making tarts and I not making hay
and I loved too much, and by such, by such is happiness thrown away
I gave her the gifts of the mind I gave her a secret sign
that's known to all the artists who have known true gods of sound and tone
and word and tint I never did stint I gave her poems to say
with her own name there and her long dark hair like clouds o'er the fields
of May
on a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walking now
away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow
theta I have 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 day
On Raglan Road on an Autumn day I saw her first and knew
that her dark hair would weave a snare that I might some day rue
I saw the danger yet I walked along the enchanted way
and I said let grief be a falling leaf at the dawning of the day

Here's the timing and the melody for the vocal.
