A personal collection of verse

Midwinter Night

Hwang Jini

I shall cut the long midwinter night in two at its waist,
and roll up the sliced-off half to stow it beneath my springtime quilt.
Then on the night my beloved returns to me,
I will unravel that saved night, long and long, to make our time last.
