I wonder does anyone sing all the words as publised in Kavanagh's Collected poems. Luke Kelly did not. Even in the first line he makes two changes: 'on an autumn day' becomes 'of an autumn day' & the poet 'met her first and knew' which is very different than 'saw her etc'
In the last verse he messes up the internal rhyming: ' That I had wooed not as I should' becomes 'That I had loved not as I should'
Wooing and loving again not the same.
