Give Me A Blue Ribbon... Poem by Cyprian Kamil Norwid

Give Me A Blue Ribbon...

Rating: 5.0


Give me a blue ribbon - I will hand it back
Without delay...
Or give me your shadow with your supple neck;
No! not the shadow.

The shadow will change when your hand moves,
It tells no lie.
Now there is nothing I want from you,
I take my arm away...

In the past God healed my wounds
With lesser things :
A leaf stuck to a window pane,
A drop of rain.
