@intersanctum Thanks, it's a Cort 1200 Earth - nothing very special but a very beautiful and reasonably priced guitar :-)

Originally published in The Spice Box Of Earth (1961), the first book of Leonard's that I came upon. Nicely done.

Thanks, I think in the UK it was in the mid-sixties in a collection called The Energy Of Slaves.

@TheQuantumNoise Yes, the unrequited melody is my own ;-)There's an earlier comment from someone saying that this poem was used as part of one of the songs on Death Of A Ladies Man, but I never really listened to that album more than a couple of times and don't recall these lyrics at all. I got the poem from The Energy Of Slaves, which was published in the UK in the 70s - the melody is from the same period.

Thanks :)

really nice. good melody. sometimes it's too obvious when a poem has been made into a song or vice versa and it doesnt quite come off, but this sounds very natural - well done.

Thanks very much :)
