==Lee Chang-Dong's "Agnes Song" (poem read at end of the movie)==
How is it over there? 
How lonely is it? 
Is it still glowing red at sunset? 
Are the birds still singing on the way to the forest? 
Can you receive the letter I dared not send? 
Can I convey… 
the confession I dared not make? 
Will time pass and roses fade? 
Now it's time to say goodbye 
Like the wind that lingers and then goes, 
just like shadows 
To promises that never came, 
to the love sealed till the end. 

To the grass kissing my weary ankles 
And to the tiny footsteps following me 
It's time to say goodbye 
Now as darkness falls 
Will a candle be lit again? 
Here I pray… 
nobody shall cry… 
and for you to know… 
how deeply I loved you 
The long wait in the middle of a hot summer day 
An old path resembling my father's face 
Even the lonesome wild flower shyly turning away 
How deeply I loved 
How my heart fluttered at hearing faint song 
I bless you 
Before crossing the black river 
With my soul's last breath 
I am beginning to dream… 
a bright sunny morning… 
again I awake blinded by the light… 
and meet you… 
standing by me.
