Grass 
Kim Su-Yong(1921-1986)

The grass is lying flat.
Fluttering in the east wind that brings rain in its train,
the grass lay flat
and at last it wept.
As the day grew cloudier, it wept even more
and lay flat again.

The grass is lying flat.
lt lies flat more quicky than the wind.
lt weeps more quickly than the wind.
lt rises more quickly than the wind.

The day is cloudy, the grass is lying flat.
lt lies low as the ankles 
low as the feet.
Though it lies flat later than the wind,
it rises more quickly than the wind
and though it weeps later than the wind,
 it laughs more quickly than the wind.
The day is cldudy, the grass's roots are lying flat.
