I translated a poem in Korean into English.
Take a look at it. :)
If only I be a flower
Jo, Dong-wha
Don¡¯t say
What difference into the meadow
I, just a blossom, can make.
If you bloom
And if I, too, bloom,
After all, the meadow would wholly
Turn into a flower garden,
Wouldn¡¯t it?
Don¡¯t say either
What difference into the mountain
Can only I make if I begin to color.
If I turn red
And if you, too, turn red,
After all, the whole mountain would
Blaze up in fire,
Wouldn¡¯t it?
The Original poem in Korean is below.

Re:I translated a poem in Korean into English.
Hi Gene,
Im interested in poems. It's an art of language....but im not really familiar with korean poems and poets. I've found a korean poem translated in english before and I think it's something new for me.
I'd like to have some poems translated from you. Really appreciate it. You can introduce me some korean poets as well.
I like this poem:
DREAMS by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die,
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams,
For when dreams go,
Life is a barren field,
Frozen with snow.
