by Hilja Onerva Madetoja (1882 - 1972), as L. Onerva

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Taas kaukaa laulavat lauluaan 
eräkankahat kalvakkaat, 
ja hongat korvaani huokaavat 
ja horsmat ja apilamaat. 

Taas kaukaa siintävät silmiini 
meren aavat aukeat nuo, 
ja rannan somer soittelee 
ja laine kutsuu luo... 

Taas rintani lähteet aukeaa, 
taas nostan ma väsyneen pään. 
Ma tunnen, mun voimani palautuu, 
kun teidät ma jällehen nään!
