In days of old, by the Ho-gye Stream, they gathered for doing
Laundry. But now on that street, endlessly foreign shops were low.
People from the southern land, who followed their princess were gathering
For soothing the homesick. Now, gathering for eating their gateau.
Though time has flowed for long, people's hearts remain and unchanged,
The lonely tower, worn by years, bears the pain.
By two thousand years, even the old traces're estranged
And vanished. Feeling nostalgia now, still people pain.

- Comment from author about the poem: Kimhae is located in Southern Korea, and there was one of the old dynasty of which the name is Gaya, in Korea. There was a Hogye Brooks but now there is a Hogye Road. Old days the immigrant washed there clothes at Hogye Brooks, now there were many foreign stores and foreigners visit there, now.
