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!
