- 1840 or 1900, 화젼별곡 [hwajeonbyeolgok, Song of Flower Picnics], quoted in 딸에게 부치는 노래 [ttarege buchineun norae, Songs Sent to a Daughter], Idam Books, published 2021:
  ᄂᆡ측을 오은 후 의 옛일 을 ᄉᆡᆼ각ᄒᆞ니 / 규중 의 ᄊᆞ인 몸 이 삼죵지도 고이 ᄒᆞ여 / 길삼 방젹 일 을 삼고 주사시의 셰월 이 라 / 일ᄉᆡᆼ 의 녹〻ᄒᆞ여 문 밖 박 글 모른고야
  naecheug-eul o'eun hu-ui yesir-eul saenggak-hani / gyujung-ui ssain mom-i samjongjido goi hayeo / gilsam bangjeok ir-eul samgo jusasiui syewor-i-ra / ilsaeng-ui nongnok-hayeo mun bakbak-geul moreun'goya
  Having focused on the way of women, when I reflect on the past / Encircled in the women's quarters, I paid homage to obeying the menfolk / I made weaving my occupation and spent my days making wine and food / My life being so plain, I knew nought outside my gates.
