     From: 《三灘集/삼탄집》, 1514

     Pung chwi nunyeop man yu ji, hongsu jo rae ral chwi yu. Si gyeon nogeum myeong ho wan, gak ui cheong ro jeok yeonji. [Sino-Korean]

     The wind blows on the young shoots that fill the tender branches,
     The red-sleeved girl comes early morning to pluck the verdant fronds.
     Sometimes I see the green leafage and her fair shining wrist,
     But I wonder: has the pure dew wet her rouge?
