by Karl Gustaf Larson (1873 - 1948), as Larin-Kyösti

Kristallikukkia
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Kuurassa seisoo rautainen tammi, 
talvessa kukkii kevään puu, 
ylitse valkoisten vaahteroiden 
loistaa kylmä ja kelmeä kuu. 

Lumessa loistaa koko luonto, 
sieluni valossa kirkastuu, 
heljinä helkkyvät aurinko haaveet, 
poissa on yö ja murhe muu. 

Kiillä sieluni kirkkaana jäässä, 
kulje yksin kuin talvinen kuu, 
seiso kuin jäähtyvä, jäykkä, kaunis 
kristallikruunuinen nuori puu!
