Daggen har duggat,
skymningen skuggat
skogarnas björkar och strändernas häll.
Djupt ur min lunga
skyndar jag sjunga
salltrastens lockton i lyssnande kväll.

Kanske ur snåren
bäras med kåren
srånande tonfall min trängtan till tröst,
kanske jag kände
hennes, som tände
lågande längtan i sångarens bröst!

Kanske hon finge
kärlekens vinge,
flög i min famn öfver sjöar och mo ;
kanske vi kunde
hinna den sjunde
himlen tillsammans i aftonens ro !

Confirmed with Dikter i väntan af Karl A. Tavaststjerna, Borgå Werner Söderström, Helsingfors Finska Litteratur-Sällskapets tryckeri, 1890, p. 159.

Kaste on laskeutunut

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Kaste on laskeutunut,
hämärä verhonnut
metsien koivut ja rantojen kalliot.
Syvältä sisimmästäni
kumpuaa
laulurastaan kutsulaulu kuuntelevaan iltaan.

Ehkäpä pensastosta
kantautuu tuulen mukana
kaipaavia ääniä lohduttamaan ikävääni.
Ehkäpä tunnistan niistä
hänet joka sytytti
polttavan kaipuun laulajan rintaan!

Ehkäpä hän saattaisi
lentää syliini
rakkauden siivin yli järvien ja metsien:
Ehkäpä me voisimme
saavuttaa seitsemännen 
taivaan keskenämme illan rauhassa.
