나는 이 지상에 잠시 천막을 친 자
초원의 꽃처럼 남김없이 피고 지고
자신을 다 사르며 온전히 살아가기를
– 박노해 (한국어 시인, 1957년 ~ )
One who pitched his tent upon this Earth for but a moment am I.
Like a flower in a meadow, earnestly blooming,
Utterly destroyed that others might make their way in life.
– Park, No-hae (Korean poet, b. 1957)
My friend Peter posted this unnamed poem on his blog, and provided his own translation for it, since none was to be found.
