The Yeonja-Ru Pavilion Poem by Kinsley Lee

The Yeonja-Ru Pavilion

Dam-Woon, Kang

Before the Yeonja-Ru Pavilion, atop of the branches the flowers of the willows.
Wllow branches, and young swallows, they fly aslant the setting sun.
The swallows fly to chase the flowers, and the flowers run after the swallows,
Scattering into the various houses in the castle, they fly to run.
