Yi Sanghwa 李相和
1926 · Daegu
Now another's land: does spring come to stolen fields too? With sunlight all over my body, towards the place where blue sky and green field meet, I walk on and on, as in a dream, along a paddy path like a parting in hair.
지금은 남의ᄯᅡᆼ―ᄲᅢ앗긴들에도 봄은오는가?
나는 온몸에 해살을 밧고
푸른한울 푸른들이 맛부튼 곳으로
가름아가튼 논길을ᄯᅡ라 ᄭᅮᆷ속을가듯 거러만간다."Does Spring Come to Stolen Fields?" in Gaebyeok, June 1926

1834 · Lithuania · Paris
Lithuania, my homeland! You are like health: how much you must be valued, only he learns who has lost you. Today I see and describe your beauty in all its splendour, because I long for you.
Litwo! Ojczyzno moja! ty jesteś jak zdrowie; Ile cię trzeba cenić, ten tylko się dowie Kto cię stracił. Dziś piękność twą w całéj ozdobie Widzę i opisuję, bo tęsknię po tobie.

Before Huile Peak the sand is like snow. Below the Surrender Wall the moonlight is like frost. Somewhere, who knows where, a reed pipe is playing, and all night long the soldiers on campaign look towards home.
回樂峰前沙似雪，受降城下月如霜。
不知何處吹蘆管，一夜征人盡望鄉。"Climbing the Wall of Shouxiang at Night and Hearing a Flute"
