Boonsan-Castle(Bowl Mountain Castle) Poem by Kinsley Lee

Boonsan-Castle(Bowl Mountain Castle)

Dam-Woon, Kang

Within the temple of Chunhyang, on the girder the lamps redly flare,
In front of the Manjangdae, water strikes the empty air.
And facing the wind, a commander plays the jade flute in dark,
A solitary melody fades into the depths of the clouds in stark.
