This masterpiece of a song, Raglan Road, was written by Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh. Or at least the lyrics were; the melody is Irish traditional.
The song tells of Kavanagh’s love affair with medical student, Hilda Moriarty.
Kavanagh was living on Raglan Road in Dublin when he saw Hilda passing by in 1944.
The video contains my version of the song plus some great footage plus and captions giving the song's fascinating background story.
