by Katri Vala (1901 - 1944)

Riemu
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Kuulitko, armaani,
tuuli kulki laulaen helisevästi
aivan poskiemme välitse!
Sen ei ole suurempi kuin meidän.
 
Laula minulle laulu merestä,
joka hengittää suurten tähtien alla,
sillä pelkään silmieni palavan,
jos niitä yhä suutelet.
 
Kun sinä laulat
näen rakkautemme meren,
jossa ajelehdimme,
tähtien kuvajaiset värisevät jäsenillämme.
 
Tuhat vuottako jo liu’uimme näin
vaiko vain tähden sammumishetken?
