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
