Roshi's Poem by Leonard Cohen
Performed by
Leonard CohenRoshi’s Poem Annotated
Whenever I hear
The edgeless sound
In the deep night
O Mother!
I find you again.
Whenever I stand
Beneath the light
Of the seamless sky
O Father!
I bow my head.
The sun goes down
Our shadows dissolve
The pine trees darken
O Darling!
We must go home.
Tr. Leonard Cohen
