Dear List Members,
I kindly request information on where I can find an English
translation/publication of the following poem:
未覺池塘 春草夢 ㅣ 연못가에 봄 풀이 채 꿈도 깨기전에
階前梧葉 已秋聲 ㅣ 계단 앞 오동나무잎이 가을을 알린다
The translation will be roughly as follows:
Spring grass at the pond before I wake up from my dream/
In front of the stairs paulownia leaves are announcing autumn.
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".
I would be very thankful if some hanja experts kindly corrected my translation.
Regards,
A. Smiatacz
