Untitled translation (1): Korean word order

by Kim Sowol · translated by Brother Anthony of Taizé

Me seeing revolted
go-you-will-time-at
word-without quietly send you-I-will.

Yak-mountain in Yong’pyong
azaleas (object)
fill-arms you-will-go path-on spread-I-will.

Going-you footsteps
placed those flowers (object)
lightly crunch tread go-please.

Me seeing revolted
go-you-will-time-at
die-I-even not tears shed-I-will.
