from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Armas arkussa ajavi
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Muien turvaset tulevat,
armahaisensa ajavat,
tahi on turvansa tuvassa,
armahat katoksen alla;
minun ei turva tullekana,
armahani ei ajane.
Eipä liiku linnuistani,
näy ei näätähattuistani,
kujosilla kulkevaksi,
aitoviertä astuvaksi;
kulta kulkevi kulossa,
armas arkussa ajavi,
turva minun on turpehessa,
armas kirkon aian alla,
turpehia tuntemassa,
aitoa armastamassa.
