When you take your leave, Tired of seeing
me, Gently and silently Ill bid you go. From
Mount Yag of Yongbyon An armful of azaleas I
shall pick, And strew them in your path. Go now,
I pray, with short steps! Let each footstep
gently tread The flowers which I have spread for
you. When you take your leave, Tired of seeing
me, Though I should die, I shall not weep.
Azaleas, by Kim Sowôl (early 1920s)
