Murmuring Jade Bridge


While napping on the breakwater,

I was awakened by the brilliant moon.

Holding my goosefoot walking stick aslant,

I crossed the Jade Bridge.

Only the drowsing birds

Know the pure music at Jade Bridge.

Pak Nogye (1561-1642)



響玉橋

磯頭에 누웠다가 깨어나니 달이 밝다

靑黎杖 빗겨 짚고 玉橋를 건너오니

玉橋에 맑은 소리를 자는 새만 아놋다

朴蘆溪 (1561-1642)
