<DIV>Dear List Members,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I kindly request information on where I can find an English translation/publication of the following poem:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>未覺池塘 春草夢 ㅣ 연못가에 봄 풀이 채 꿈도 깨기전에<BR><BR>階前梧葉 已秋聲 ㅣ 계단 앞 오동나무잎이 가을을 알린다</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The translation will be roughly as follows: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Spring grass at the pond before I wake up from my dream/</DIV>
<DIV>In front of the stairs paulownia leaves are announcing autumn.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is a fragment of a poem by a Chinese poet from the Song dynasty period, popular among the Koreans, too. In Korean the title is "Sonyeoniro Hannanseong".</DIV>
<DIV>I would be very thankful if some hanja experts kindly corrected my translation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
