by Juhana Heikki Erkko (1849 - 1906)

Oi ruusut rintani
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Oi ruusut rintani,
Oi vilustunehet,
Oi surkastunehet!--
Oi ruusut rintani,
Kuink' ovat kuollehet!

Kuink' uskalsin ja voin
Hyyn, hallan tuulelta
Rukoilla rakkautta!
Kuink' uskalsin ja voin--
Toi talven pohjola!

Toi talven, linnut vei
Ohitse etelään.
Ne lauloi mennessään:
"Ei tyttös lemmi, ei"--
Jäi kannel itkemään.

El' itke, kannel, noin,
El' itke ruusujas,
Sureksi lintujas!
Viel' et lie onnetoin:
Voit soida Suomestas.

Pois lempi kieliltäs,
Pois kaiu kuolemaan!--
Vaan Suomi ainiaan
On lempityttönäs:
Soi kannel synnyinmaan!
