온달(A Full Moon)-완성

 

온달(A Full Moon)
                                                                                                                   -엘리엇 킴

 
달이 지기 전에,
온달이 지기 전에,
아침 이슬 맺을 때까지.

'fore the moon falls,
'fore a full moon falls,
till morning dews form.

Ondahl (A Full Moon)

                                                                                                        -Elliot Kim

 
‘Fore a full moon sets,
before a full moon sets,
until dewdrops form at dawn -
(in early 2000)
 
-------------------------------------
 * 'Dahl' in Korean means the moon.
  A full moon is called 'boreum dahl' in Korea. 'boreum' means the 15th day of one  month in lunar calendar. In this poem I used the word 'ondahl' instead of  'boreumdahl'. 'on' in 'ondahl' means 'full'.
