봄이 와있는 줄 모르고

맑은 아이 같은 봄이 문 밖에 와있는 줄 모르고

오늘 보니

빼꼼히 머릴 내민 여린 연둣잎과

병아리 솜털같이 보드랍고 따뜻한 햇살을

선물처럼 나무에 걸어놓고 외치고 있었다.

밖을 봐봐! 나 벌써 와있었어

I didn't realize that spring, as pure and bright as a child, had already arrived outside my door.

But today, I saw it— tender, lime green leaves peeking out,

and sunlight as soft and warm as a chick's down,

hung like a present upon the branches.

And spring was calling out to me-

"Look outside! I've been here all along!”
