The dragon's lair

A personal collection of verse

대막대 너를 보니

김광욱

대막대 너를 보니 유신(有信)하고 반갑고야.
나니 아이 적에 너를 타고 다니더니,
이제란 창 뒤에 섰다가 날 뒤세우고 다녀라.

I like you, bamboo

Kim Kwang-Wuk

I like you, bamboo,
You are a true friend.
When I was young,
I played on stilts with you;

Now that I am old, you stand outside my window
Waiting till I need a walking stick.
