자화상

 윤동주            

산모퉁이를 돌아 논가 외딴 우물을 홀로 찾아가선

가만히 들여다 봅니다.

우물속에는 달이 밝고 구름이 흐르고 하늘이 

펼치고 파아란 바람이 불고 가을이 있습니다.

그리고 한 사나이가 있습니다.

어쩐지 그 사나이가 미워져 돌아갑니다.

돌아가다 생각하니 그 사나이가 가엾어집니다.

도로 가 들여다 보니 사나이는 그대로 있습니다.

다시 그 사나이가 미워져 돌아갑니다.

돌아가다 생각하니 그 사나이가 그리워집니다.

우물속에는 달이 밝고 구름이 흐르고 하늘이

펼치고 파아란 바람이 불고 가을이 있고

추억(追憶)처럼 사나이가 있습니다.

Self-Portrait

Dong Ju-Yun 

Skirting the foot of the hill, by myself

I come to a lone well by a paddy and silently look into it.

In the well there is the moon, shining bright, clouds flowing by

and the sky spreading open.

A blue wind wafts. It is autumn.

Therein is a man as well. I hate him but I know not why.

I turn away from him and go away.

Going away, I come to feel compassion for him.

I return and again look into the well. Therein remains that man.

Again, I come to hate him and go away.

Going away I come to long for him.

In the well there is the moon, shining bright, clouds flowing by

and the sky spreading open.

A blue wind wafts. It is autumn,

and the man therein is but a remembrance
