FIRST SEEN ALONG THE ROAD (Seven character, Quatrains with answering rhymes)




Myŏng/chŏng/kyŏng are the answering rhymes. Tones match.



Kim Sakkat


You were reading from the Book of Songs.

The wayfarer stayed his steps; his heart was filled with love. 

An empty house late at night, no one will ever know.

The half moon has set; already it’s the third watch.

Many pass this way; averting the eyes is not easy.

I cannot express what I feel, so I suppose that means no. 

Crossing the fence and getting through the wall is not very difficult, 

but I’m married to a farmer, irrevocably committed.
