In one hand I held a stick,
and in the other I held some thorns.
I tried to block the path of old age with thorns
and keep white hair at bay with my stick.
But white hair knew better than I
and came ‘round by a short cut.

백발
한 손에 막대를 쥐고 또 한 손에는 가시를 쥐고
늙는 길을 가시로 막고 오는 백발을 막대로 치려 했더니
백발이 제가 먼저 알고서 지름길로 오는구나.
