Title : Counting Stars at Night by Yoon Dong Ju
In the sky where seasons pass in a hurry
Autumn fills the air.
And ready I stand, without a worry,
To count all the stars there
.....
Memory for one star,
Love for another star,
=================
This is the translation of a Korean poem. What does the underlined mean? Why did the translator inverse "I stand ready" to "Ready I stand"?
To emphasize that I'm really ready?
