Poems by the Sijo Poets Deceased·작고 시인 편   춘주春晝 한용운  따슨 볕 등에 지고 유마경維摩經을 읽노라니가볍게 나는 꽃이 글자를 가리운다구태여 꽃 밑 글자를 읽어 무삼하리오  On a Sunny Day in Springtime Han Yong-un  Petals are lightly falling on the쟗imalakirti Sutra,which I am reading with warm sunshine on my back.Do I need to read those words hidden by the petals?  ----------------------------------------------------------  혼자 앉아서 최남선  가만히 오는 비가낙수 져서 소리하니 오마지 않는 이가일도 없이 기다려져 열릴 듯 닫힌 문으로눈이 자주 가더라  Sitting Alone Choe Nam-sun  Silent rain is murmuring softlybeneath the eaves. Sitting alone, I miss the onewho is not likely to come. Now and then, I cast my eyeson the gate that would not open.  -------------------------------------------------------------  석류 조운  투박한 나의 얼굴두툴한 나의 입술 알알이 붉은 뜻을내가 어이 이르리까 보소라 임아 보소라빠개 젖힌 이 가슴  Pomegranate Cho Woon  With my crude and shapeless face,and with my thick and full lips, how can I let you know my loveas beady red as my heart? Oh, my love, look, look at this,this breast of mine split open!  --------------------------------------------------------  별들은 고두동  별들은 지구와 함께크고 작은 동기라는데 어떻게 저 하늘이 열려싸락같이 헤쳤을까? 산사서 보는 이 호망浩茫놀람 황홀뿐이네  Stars Are Ko Du-dong  It is said that stars are allbrothers and sisters of the earth. But how are they strewn apartall over the open sky? Awe-struck, I gaze at the space infinitein a mountain temple.  ------------------------------------------------  대 이은상  대숲에 바람 부는 소리한밤에 눈 지는 소리 백운산 찬 달 아래거닐다 문득 서서 대처럼 굽히지 말자다짐하던 옛 기억  Like Bamboo Trees Lee Eun-sang  I hear winds blowing through bamboo grove,and snows falling at night. While strolling alone, I pauseunder the cold moon of Mount Baek-woon* to recall our vow: Like bamboo trees,we shall never bend our will.  *Mount Baekwoon is located in Cholla Province, Korea.(Translator’s Note)  ----------------------------------------------------------  길 이병기  종일 피로하여 걸음이 아니 걸린다그래도 발은 아직 멈출 수 없다가다가 쓰러져버리면 넋이라도 가리라  On the Road Lee Byeong-gi  Exhausted all day long, I am not able to walk any more.And yet, I just cannot let my poor feet take some rest.If I ever fall on the way, I will make my soul get there.  ----------------------------------------------------------  부재 김상옥  문빗장 걸려 있고섬돌 위엔 신도 없다 대낮은 아닌 밤중이웃마저 부재하고 초목만 짙고 푸르러기척 하나 없는 날  The Absence Kim Sang-ok  Door-locks are latched,and there are no shoes on the stone step. It is midnight, not daytime,but there are no neighbors around here. Only the lush greens are all I feel,and nothing is stirring.  ---------------------------------------------------------  개화 이호우  꽃이 피네 한 잎 한 잎한 하늘이 열리고 있네 마침내 남은 한 잎이마지막 떨고 있는 고비 바람도 햇볕도 숨을 죽이네나도 아려 눈을 감네  A Flower Blooms Lee Ho-woo  A flower blooms, petal by petal.There I see a sky open. As last, the final petaltrembles to bloom in full glory. Even wind and sunlight hold their breath,and I close my dazzled eyes.  ---------------------------------------------------------  벽 장응두  주먹을 쥐고 보면만사가 다 됨직하고 벽으로 돌아누우면서러움만 어리운다 나날이 밀고 일어서는나는 벽을 가졌다  The Wall Jang Eung-doo  Whenever I hold my fist tight,I feel I can do anything. Yet, when l roll round toward the wall,my mind is filled with sorrow. In my heart, there’s a wall to pushwhenever I raise myself up.  -----------------------------------------------------------  단란 이영도  아이는 글을 읽고나는 수를 놓고 심지 돋우고이마를 맞대이면 어둠도고운 애정에삼가한 듯 둘렸다  Happiness* Lee Young-do  While my child is reading a bookand I am doing embroidery, sitting face to facewith a dim, shimmering lamp in between, darknessencircles us,cautious of our gentle affection.  *I once translated this poem under the title, “Warmth”;however, I modified my former translation, and changedits title to “Happiness.” (Translator’s Note)  ------------------------------------------------------------------ - 민병도 엮음, 장경렬 옮김 『한국 현대 단시조 100』 2021. 들풀- Compiled by Min Byungdo, Translated by Jang Gyung-ryul『One Hundred Modern Sijo Poems from Korea: An Anthology』
