This poem reminds me of night time at renaissance faire, people moving about in the darkness, visiting the various yards and camps.

Sitting at Night
~ Om Ui-gil (17th Century)
Translated by Kim Jong-gil

A quiet valley with no man’s footprints,
An empty garden lit by the moon.
Suddenly my dog barks and I know
A friend with a bottle is knocking at the gate.
