Subject: [KS] Request to the Members







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
