Homer Hulbert And Missionaries In Yanghwanjin Poem by Tengre Asasiun Gurun Tengre

King Sejong invented the Hangeul letter,
But for a long time it was not widely used
Even in Korean, between the people the transmitter
Was the traditional letter, and it cannot be fused.
The great King invented the letters for the people
But the missionaries diffused the letters to the people.

Most of the plain people are ignorant.
The missionaries translated the English Bible
To Hangeul, and to know and to have, it's different.
He claimed the grammar and it can be sensible.
He researched the Korean letters and taught to people,
To the Hanguel, the great King was the inventor, the father,
Hulbert researched and fostered, was the mother.

The missionaries founded the modern schools,
Underwood, Kyunshin, Appenzeller, Baejae,
Scranton, Ehwa and others founded the schools.
And to the students, they taught Hanguel and the new way.
The many missionaries from US, England
And other western countries, have worked for this land.

They fought with Korean for many years
Against for the old thought, independence and freedom.
In wartime, they shouted to the stuffy ears,
For assisting Korean to fight for freedom.
Now we can enjoy our language and letters,
But to whom, laid in Yanghwajin we're debtors.
