    • 1954, Tố Hữu, “Lượm”, in Việt Bắc:
      Chú bé loắt choắt
      Cái xắc xinh xinh
      Cái chân thoăn thoắt
      Cái đầu nghênh nghênh

      Ca-lô đội lệch
      Mồm huýt sáo vang
      Như con chim chích
      Nhảy trên đường vàng…
      A little boy
      Who wore a cute satchel
      Who was quick on his feet
      Who blissfully banged his head

      Who wore a lopsided forage cap
      Who whistled loud and proud
      Like a robin
      Hopping on the yellow road…
