She was the mother of Nick Drake. In 1934, she met Rodney Drake, and they were married in 1937. Molly gave birth to Nick in 1948.

Her poetry is somewhat maudlin but beautiful. Her compositions for piano are marked by the same looping style that characterized her son Nick's guitar work. Her daughter Gabrielle asserts that her mother's work is unquestionably a strong influence on Nick's work.

Love isn't a right, it's got to be earned.
Love isn't a right that's got to be learned.
Maybe you spent your natural life
loving husband or loving wife;
were you loving and was your love returned?

Love's nobody's fool and nobody's slave,
Love won't go to school and learn to behave.
Ride your love on an easy rein,
If Love can go it comes back again.
Love will haunt us from cradle to the grave.

Love's a whisper, Love's a shout,
Love's a flame that could blow out,
Love's all beauty but make it a duty
and Love will lie right down and die.

Love, Love is a germ you'll never resist.
Love, Love's the eternal will-o-the-whisp.
Follow him through the darkest day,
Love will glimmer and light your way,
but grab at him and he flickers away out of sight.

Love's enchanted, don't take it for granted,
Follow him, isn't a right.

Thanks for those lyrics. :) Just one little correction: the last line is: "For love isn't a right"

"Lo que mucha gente llama amar consiste en elegir a una mujer y casarse con ella. La eligen, te lo juro, los he visto. Como si se pudiese elegir en el amor, como si no fuera un rayo que te parte los huesos y te deja estaqueado en la mitad del patio. Vos dirás que la eligen porque-la-aman, yo creo que es al verse. A Beatriz no se la elige, a Julieta no se la elige. Vos no elegís la lluvia que te va a calar hasta los huesos cuando salís de un concierto."
