And who by fire, who by water,
who in the sun­shine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by com­mon tri­al,
who in your mer­ry mer­ry month of may,
who by very slow decay,
and who shall I say is call­ing?

And who in her lone­ly slip, who by bar­bi­tu­rate,
who in these realms of love, who by some­thing blunt,
and who by avalanche, who by pow­der,
who for his greed, who for his hunger,
and who shall I say is call­ing?

And who by brave assent, who by acci­dent,
who in soli­tude, who in this mir­ror,
who by his lady’s com­mand, who by his own hand,
who in mor­tal chains, who in pow­er,
and who shall I say is call­ing?

— Leonard Cohen, New Skin for the Old Cer­e­mo­ny
