Happy St. Patrick’s Day ...9:58 am
The tune is the traditional Dawning of the Day; the words are from a poem called On Raglan Road by the great Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh (1905 - 1967). It is sung by Luke Kelly (1940 - 1984) of the Dubliners. Click here to go to YouTube or play below.
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walking now
Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow
That I had wooed not as I should a creature made of clay–
When the angel woos the clay he’d lose his wings at the dawn of day.
