My lady can sleep from “The Spice-Box of Earth by Leonard Cohen

in hive-160196 •  4 years ago  (edited)

My lady can sleep
Upon a handkerchief
Or if it be Fall
Upon a fallen leaf.
I have seen the hunters
kneel before her hem
Even in her sleep
She turns away from them.
The only gift they offer
Is their abiding grief
I pull out my pockets
For a handkerchief or leaf.

-Leonard cohen
