Three days before he died, he wrote a final poem:〔 무지개 김영무 이 땅에 시인 하나 풀꽃으로 피어나 바람결에 놀다 갔다. 풀무치 새 울음소리 좋아하고 이웃 피붙이 같은 버들치 힘찬 지느러미 짓 더욱 좋아했다. 찬 이슬 색동보석 맺치는 풀섶세상—참 다정도 하다. 2001.11.23평촌 Rainbow Kim Young-Moo In this land one poet blossomed—a wild flower, played in the wind, then went away. He enjoyed the songs of crickets and birds, enjoyed even more the sturdy fin-strokes of minnows, neighborly, kin-like. The world of wild greenery where cool drops of dew hang, many-hued jewels—it’s so full of tenderness. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kim Young-moo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
