Långsamt som qvällskyn mister sin purpur der öfver milsfjärdens blänkande slätt, sakta som brisen somnar derborta långt, så att ögat ej skönjer dot rätt, fjerran som ekot dör efter sista utdragna tonen af skärflickans sång, skall jag dig glömma, du, som gaf purpur, vårbris och toner åt lifvet engång!

Yhtä hitaasti kuin iltapilven purppura haihtuu tuolla peninkulmaisen ulapan kimaltavan pinnan yllä, yhtä hiljaa kuin tuuli uinahtaa tuolla jossain niin etäällä, ettei sitä silmä kunnolla erota, yhtä kaukana kuin kaiku kuolee saaristolaistytön laulun viimeisten venytettyjen sävelten jälkeen, pystyn unohtamaan sinut, joka kerran annoit purppuraa, kevättuulen raikkautta ja säveliä elämääni.
