Is it "led", or should it be "lead"?

Three poems by Thomas Tranströmer
"Tomas Tranströmer (1931 – 2015 ), a Swedish poet, has been universally
acclaimed as one of the most important European and Scandinavian writers since
1945. He was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature. Tranströmer suffered a
stroke in 1990, and after a six-year silence published his collection
Sorgegondolen, translated into English as The Grief Gondola [2010]." (from
thomastranstromer.net/about/)
FÄNGELSEPojken dricker mjölkoch somnar trygg i sin cell,en moder av sten.

stone

En pinande blåstdrar genom huset i natt -demonernas namn.
A freezing wind is passing through our house to-night; the name of demons

SVARTA VYKORT
I
Almanackan fullskriven, framtid okänd.Kabeln nynnar folkvisan utan
hemland.Snöfall i det blystilla havet. Skuggorbrottas på kajen.
II
Mitt i livet händer det att döden kommeroch tar mått på människan. Det
besöketglöms och livet fortsätter. Men kostymensys i det tysta.
BLACK POSTCARDS
1. A calendar fully booked. A future uncertain.The wire is humming quietly on a
folk songwithout homeland. Snow falls on an ocean of led. Shadows wrestle on
the dock.
2. Sometimes death arrives in the middle of life to measure man. It is a visit
that is soon forgotten; life goes on. Our suit is sewn in silence.
