Hoa tiên
Story of the flower-letter (Vietnamese: Hoa tiên ký, chữ Hán: 花箋記) is a famous vernacular Vietnamese poem written in Nôm script. It was written by Nguyễn Huy Tự (1743-1790) and revised by Nguyễn Thiện (1763-1818).[1][2] The poem was originally inspired by the late 17th century Chinese poem, Faazin Gei, that had it made its way to Japan and Vietnam.

| Trăm năm một sợi chỉ hồng, |
| Buộc người tài sắc vào trong khung trời. |
| Sự đời thử ngẫm mà chơi, |
| Tình duyên hai chữ với người hay sao? |
| Từng nghe trăng gió duyên nào, |
| Bể sâu là nghĩa, non cao là tình. |
| Người dung hạnh, bậc tài danh, |
| Nghìn thu để một mối tình làm gương. |
