How Yeats Borrowed an Old Song When Writing The Salley Gardens

The classic Irish song Raglan Road is one of the greatest love poems of the last century - yet it was a throwaway jibe about cabbages and turnips that led to it being written. The song began life as a poem by the great Irish writer Patrick Kavanagh. He was the self-styled peasant poet because he often wrote about country and farming matters, even to the point of referring to vegetables.
