Thanks for that link Robbie, great to see a photo of Hilda in her old age. Kavanagh's poem 'Bluebells for Love', considered by critics to be his best love poem, (tho I don't think so) was also inspired by Hilda. (btw, It's Ben Kiely, not Kielty!).

Kavanagh has a 20 track CD called 'Almost Everying'. He 'sings' only one song, the rest being poetry readings. Sadly, 'On Raglan Road' is not included.

Kavanagh's 'Collected Poems' (1964) gives the title as 'On Raglan Road' and the air as 'The Dawning of the Day'.
