Did A Magpie Ever Ask Me

by D.J. YOON

Sweet potatoes piled in the back room

Dried persimmons hang under the eaves

hanging hanging

I made ice skates and carved some tops

I also made a shield kite

Wishing for the stream to freeze in front

This winter vacation, I hope you play as you like

Study, study, but don’t forget to take a break

Every vacation, you go to academies

You say you're busier during the break

My 3rd and 5th graders living in Seoul

You siblings, my dear grandchildren

Today, your grandpa walked to the bus stop in front of the village

Wondering if you would come

Your grandpa went there and came back three times

Each time I returned home alone

A magpie seemed like asking me, sitting on a bare branch of a persimmon tree

Asking if your grandchildren aren't coming today

croak croak croak croak

Wondering when they will come

croak croak croak croak

까치가 내게 묻더라

-윤동재

고구마는 뒷방에 가득 쌓아 놓았고

곶감도 처마 밑에 달아 놓았다 주렁주렁

스케이트도 만들어 놓았고

팽이도 깎아 놓았다

방패연도 만들어 놓았고

앞개울도 꽝꽝 얼려 달라고 부탁해 놓았다

이번 겨울방학에는 꼭 놀다 가라

공부 공부 하지만 좀 쉬면서 해라

방학 때마다 학원 다니느라

오히려 더 바쁘다는

서울 사는 3학년 5학년

너희 남매

할아버지는 오늘도 너희 남매가

행여나 올까 하여

마을 앞 버스 정거장까지 걸어가 보았다

세 번이나 갔다 왔다

나 혼자 집으로 돌아올 때마다

까치가 내게 묻더라 감나무 빈 가지에 앉아서

너희 남매가 오늘도 오지 않느냐고 깍깍깍깍

너희 남매가 언제 오느냐고 깍깍깍깍

Appreciation Review 感想

"Did A Magpie Ever Ask Me" is a sweet poem about a grandpa waiting for a visit from his grandchildren.

It describes a cozy winter with sweet potatoes and dried persimmons.

The poem shows the fun of childhood, like making ice skates and kites, and contrasts it with the busy lives of the grandchildren.

The grandpa keeps walking to the bus stop and returns again and again, hoping to see his lovely grandchildren, while a magpie on the bare branch of a tree seems to share his feelings.

This touching poem reminds us to enjoy time with family and balance work with play, making it a lovely read for everyone.
