여름 밤하늘
허만길
아름다운 꿈이
주렁주렁 매달린 여름 밤하늘
숲속에서 풀벌레 울고
논개구리 요란하면
꿈도 도란도란 소리 내어 춤춘다.
별똥별 훅 날아 곤두박질하고
반딧불 빙빙 눈앞에 빛나면
꿈 가득한 별들이
가슴에 내려
나를 별나라 성자로 만든다.

Summer Night Sky
Hur Man-gil | Trans. Hea Suk Salzman
The summer night sky
with beautiful dreams dangling from it
In the forest, the insects are singing
When frogs croak loudly in the rice field
Dreams also dance whispering lovingly
Shooting stars swiftly fly in a headlong plunge
When fireflies shine around and around
before my eyes
Stars full of dreams
Descend into my heart
And enthrone me
as a saint of the star-filled universe.
