                 Let me grow lovely 

                                     [아름답게 나이 들게 하소서]      

             
                                  Karle Wilson Baker [장영희 번역]
   
                                Let me grow lovely, growing old--
                                  So many fine things do:
                                아름답게 나이 들어가게 하소서
                                해야 할 좋은 일들은 너무나 많습니다.
 
                                Laces, and ivory, and gold,
                                  And silks need not be new;
                                레이스와 상아와 황금, 그리고 비단도
                                꼭 새것만이 좋은 것은 아닙니다.
 
                                And there is healing in old trees,
                                  Old streets a glamour hold;
                                오래된 나무에 치유력이 있고
                                오래된 거리에 영화가 깃들 듯이
 
                                Why may not I, as well as these,
                                  Grow lovely, growing old-- 
                                이들처럼 저도 나이 들어감에 따라
                                더욱 아름다워지게 하소서.
