Foreigners' Cemetery in Yanghwajin

Kinsley Lee

At the eastern edge of the continent, by mist,

Korea had been shrouded and bored.

Lifetime they'd devoted to missionary work,

Following the light of the Lord.

White seagulls still circle over Yanghwajin

As they did in days of old,

The great contribution which they did, on gravestones

Silently reveal and unfold.
