Endure
by D.J. Yoon
I
Blazing, scorching sun
Ah, it's hot ah, it's hot
The bunch of grapes is burning
But they have to endure the scorching sun
Hesitating hesitating
To fill up on sweetness
A bitter, cold wind
Oh, it's cold oh, it's cold
It feels like her skin is being cut open
But she has to endure the bitter cold
Jujube tree jujubes
Each one bears fruit
II
Blazing blazing summer sun
Ah, it’s hot! I want to run!
Grapes feel like they’re in a fire
Still they hold their sweet desire
Wait a bit, don’t stop, don’t shake
Sugar grows for sweetness’ sake
Bitter bitter winter breeze
Brr, I’m cold! I start to freeze!
Sharp as knives, it cuts the tree
Still she stands so patiently
Jujube tree, brave as can be
Fruits hang bright for all to see
견딤

쨍쨍 뙤약볕
앗, 뜨거워 앗, 뜨거워
포도송이 달구지만
뙤약볕을 견뎌야
주저리주저리
단맛 꽉꽉 채우지
쌩쌩 찬바람
어, 추워 어, 추워
살을 엘 듯하지만
매서운 추위 견뎌야
대추나무 대추 알
알알이 열매 맺지
Appreciation Reivew 感想
‘Endure’ is a simple and beautiful poem for children.
It shows two strong things in nature: grapes under a very hot sun and a jujube tree in a very cold wind.
Both are suffering, but they keep going and do not give up.
The grapes stay on the vine and slowly become sweet.
The jujube tree stands still and keeps making fruit, even in the freezing wind.
The repeated lines like “Ah, it’s hot!” and “Oh, it’s cold!” make the poem lively and easy to remember.
The rhyming version is also fun to read aloud like a chant.
Overall, this poem teaches children an important lesson: if we endure hard times, good things will come in the end.
