Questions & Answers in the Mountain Valley
by D.J. YOON
YOU
When you see me
Immediately ask
Why?
How do you live in such a remote mountain valley??
With a worried face, but
Walk along
The mountain path
Where the wildflowers
Bloom gently
Look at the small flowers
From a few steps away
Embracing
The evening glow
Even then, YOU
Would you still like to ask?
Why?
How do you live in such a remote mountain valley??
Would you like to ask?
Would you?
두메산골 문답
-윤동재
그대 나를 보자
대뜸 이런 두메산골에서
왜?
어떻게 사느냐고
근심 어린 얼굴로 묻지만
풀꽃이 잔잔히 피어 있는
산길을 걸어보라
저녁답 노을을 안고 있는
풀꽃을
몇 발짝 떨어져 바라보라
그때도 그대
이런 두메산골에서
왜?
어떻게 사느냐고
묻고 싶을까? 물을까?
Appreciation Review 感想
This poem gently invites children to see the beauty and peace of living close to nature, turning what seems lonely or strange into something magical.
The repeated question, “Why?” encourages curiosity, while the soft images of wildflowers, mountain paths, and evening glow create a calm and comforting atmosphere.
Its simple language makes it easy for young readers to follow, yet it leaves space for imagination and reflection.
By the end, children can feel the quiet wonder of the mountain valley and understand that sometimes the answer to “why” is found in the beauty all around us.
