News at Eleven: The poem appears in a book titled

"Tears of People in Old Days" by Jeon Song-yeol.

We can find similar poems in modern times as well. In the poem "The Glass Window," Chung Ji-yong describes how he lost his young child to pneumonia: "With your delicate small veins in the lungs burst/You flew away like a little bird."

The Korean modernism poet Kim Kwang-su wrote the poem "The Silver Spoon and Chopsticks" after he lost his son.
