Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fam Shox" data-source="post: 37319">Yes and no.He wrote Raglan Road for a young medical student he fancied.Maybe he wrote a poem for Deirdre - but I'm not sure.He was a fucken genius on top of being a great poet.My mother moved to Dublin in 1951 and she told me he was the first person she noticed there. She din't know who he was, and said he looked a bit rough, but he stood out. A few years later she was introduced to him as the poet Patrick Kavanagh. <h3><a href="https://allpoetry.com/In-Memory-Of-My-Mother" target="_blank">In Memory Of My Mother</a></h3>I do not think of you lying in the wet clayOf a Monaghan graveyard; I seeYou walking down a lane among the poplarsOn your way to the station, or happilyGoing to second Mass on a summer Sunday -You meet me and you say:'Don't forget to see about the cattle - 'Among your earthiest words the angels stray.And I think of you walking along a headlandOf green oats in June,So full of repose, so rich with life -And I see us meeting at the end of a townOn a fair day by accident, afterThe bargains are all made and we can walkTogether through the shops and stalls and marketsFree in the oriental streets of thought.O you are not lying in the wet clay,For it is a harvest evening now and weAre piling up the ricks against the moonlightAnd you smile up at us  - eternally.</blockquote>
