Sekakuorolauluja = Songs for Mixed Choir , opus 82

by Leevi Antti Madetoja (1887 - 1947)

1. Keinutan kaikua
 (Sung text)

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Keinutan kaikua
souatan sointua
tuuditan tunteeni lasta.
Puolet sen sielua omaani on
puolet on taivahasta.

Sylkytän soittoa
liikutan laulua
heijutan herkkää mieltään
kuuntelen iltaisin itseksein
hopeankirkasta kieltään.

Souatan säveltä
lempeni lasta
kasvaos kaunoisaksi:
elä mulle iloksi, sieluni suloksi
onneksi ainoaksi.

2. Vanha luostari
 (Sung text)

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Kulkee kuun ja päivän silta
yli vanhan kaarikaton
lankee pinjan tumma varjo
yli vanhan nurmimaton.

Illan tiessä niin kuin aamun
raunioilla mykkä palmu
veriruusut, villi viini
unhoituksen vieno valmu…

Muurin luona vanha nunna
niin kuin varjo liikkuu hiljaa
hoitain pyhän yrttitarhan
okahaista ruusuviljaa…

Kukkaa kastaa, jälleen vaipuu
rukoukseen oven pieleen:
"Mater Dei, anna rauha
ylpeään ja nurjaan mieleen!"

"Anna rauha" toistaa pinjat
palmut, ruusut, alla uksen
synkät sypressit ja pienet
univalmut unhoituksen…
