( 유화 ) 노란 야생화

노란 야생화, 30 x 25 cm, Oil on Canvas Board, 2025

 

Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,
Let it be forgotten for ever and ever,
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.
  
If anyone asks, say it was forgotten
Long and long ago,
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long forgotten snow.

    ( Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) )

 

잊혀지기를, 꽃이 잊혀지듯이,
한때 황금빛을 노래하던 불처럼 잊혀지기를,
영원히 잊혀지기를,
시간은 친절한 친구, 우리를 늙게 만들 것이다.

누가 묻는다면, 잊혀졌다고 말하라
오래 오래 전에,
꽃처럼, 불처럼, 조용한 발걸음처럼
오래 잊혀진 눈 속에서.
