Chungseob And Masako (Namdeok) Poem by Kinsley Lee

Chungseob And Masako (Namdeok)

When they young, they met by chance, and gazing
Into each other's eyes with love's glow,
And she left her father behind, crossing
The Hyunhaetan-Strait with the man in tow.
His family separated from him, so happiness fleeting
And the war prolonged and so blocked their way,
Battled loneliness, drawing, yearning
For the wife, he finally passed his way.
