Vietnamese literatuur

Ngày xuân con én đưa thoi

Thiều quang chín chục đã ngoài sáu mươi

Cỏ non xanh tận chân trời

Cành lê trắng điểm một vài bông hoa

Thanh Minh trong tiết tháng ba

Lễ là Tảo mộ, hội là Đạp thanh

Gần xa nô nức yến oanh

Chị em sắm sửa bộ hành chơi xuân

Engelse vertaling

Swift swallows and spring days were shuttling by

of ninety radiant ones three score had fled.

Young grass spread all its green to heaven's rim;

some blossoms marked pear branches with white dots.

Now came the Feast of Light in the third month

with graveyard rites and junkets on the green.

As merry pilgrims flocked from near and far,

the sisters and their brother went for a stroll.
