This poem was published in The Spice-Box of Earth, Leonard Cohen’s second collection of poetry (1961).
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.
