Sure on this shining night, I weep for wonder...

I can say with certainty that I know some of the times of day in Japanese: asahi (morning), hiru (daytime), mahiru (midday), yonaka (night), and mayonaka (midnight).

Can someone tell me the Korean equivalents? I'd especially like to know the Korean word for midnight.

...wand'ring far alone, of shadows on the stars.

자정 - midnight
새벽 - dawn
아침 - morning, but it can also mean breakfast
정오 - noon
저녁 - evening, but it can also mean dinner

오후 - "후" means after, and 오 means noon, so together it means afternoon or PM

오전 - "전" means before, so you can guess that it means AM

EDIT:
I figured that these words would also be helpful:
주간 - daytime
야간 - nighttime
낮 - day, but few times can refer to lunch (점심)
밤 - night
