Korean Poet Yoon Dong-ju

[ASMR] Counting the Stars at Night-Yun Dong Ju (별 헤는 밤-윤동주)

  

 

Forward

Wishing not to have

so much as a speck of shame

toward heaven until the day I die,

I suffered, even when the wind stirred the leaves.

With my heart singing to the stars, 5

I shall love all things that are dying.

And I must walk the road

that has been given to me.

Tonight, again, the stars are

brushed by the wind 10
