Poem in sijo form by Yun Tusŏ (born 1668) taken from the book "The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Korean Poetry"

A mud-encrusted piece of jade
lies abandoned by the road.
People coming, people going
all look on it as dirt.
Stay as you are, jade stone,
someone will recognize you for what you are.

Poem in sijo form by Sŏng Sammun (1418 - 1456) taken from the book "The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Korean Poetry"

Were you to ask me what I'd wish to be
after my death,
I would answer, a pine tree, tall and hardy
on the highest peak of Mount Pongnae,
And to be green, alone, green,
when snow fills heaven and earth.

Poem in sijo form by Yi Yŏng (1615-1637) taken from the book "The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Korean Poetry"

Who sliced the crescent moon so small;
who drew the full moon so round?
Streams flow but do not dry up; smoke disappears as soon as it rises.
I don't understand
the waxing and waning of this world.

Poem in sijo form by Yi Kae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yi_Kae) taken from the book "The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Korean Poetry"

The candle burns in the room,
for whom has it parted?
Shedding tears outside,
does it know that its inside burns?
That candle is like me,
it does not know its heart burns!
