8. 달맞이꽃

 

 

풀이, 나만큼 자란 풀이

같이 흔들리자고 한다

 

내가 들고 있는 촛불을

저도 들고 서서

 

한밤에 피눈물 다 씻고

달로 휘영청 떠오르자고 한다

 

나만큼 자란 풀이

같이 서서 달맞이꽃이 되자고 한다

 

 

8. An Evening Primrose

 

 

A weed, weed that grew as tall as I

tells me to sway together

 

It holds the candle

that I was holding

 

and tells me to wash off all the sorrowful tears at midnight

and rise together as the moon

 

A weed that grew as tall as I

tells me to stand with it and be an evening primrose
