Song Sammun Biography

Seong Sammun (1418–1456) was a scholar-official of early Joseon who rose to prominence in the court of King Sejong the Great (ruled 1418 - 1450). He was executed after being implicated in a plot to dethrone King Sejo (r. 1455 - 1468) and restore his predecessor King Danjong (r. 1452 - 1455), and is known as one of the sayuksin ( the six martyred ministers) with reference to this plot.)

When My Bones Have Bleached

When my bones have bleached and blended
What new life will come to me?
I shall be a towering pine
at the top of Mt. Diamond.
Between snow white home and heaven
I'll stand tall and ever green.
