To a Nightingale

Post by Kinbote8 »

I noticed that the last lines of this song, off of Dear Heather, echo the last lines of the John Keats poem Ode to a Nightingale. Cohen sings, "Though you are singing far away/I can no longer hear you". The last words of the Keats poem are "Fled is that music/Do I wake or sleep?"
