In castle of Seoul, all
The men lamented their inability
To forge cozy bonds,
By singing poems, she made
The officials from getting angry
To laugh with playful responds.
Because was bound by duties,
By even the love, struck king
Couldn't follow his heart's decree,
Abandoning decorum, crossing
The walls at night, finding
Joy unconstrained and free.
