by Arnold Kandolin , as Aarni Kouta

Ihmisen henki
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Ikiliekki ihmisen henki on
se on syttynyt säteistä auringon
ja päivän puoleen se halaa.
Vaikk' kuiluiss' se kulkee ja helmassa yön
tuvat sille on tuttuja tähtien vyön
ja tähtiin se takaisin palaa.

Pyhä liekki henkemme iäinen on
se Poika ainut on auringon
vaikk' kahleissa maisten harhain.
Mut harhain kun tuskat sen kirkastaa
kotihin ylös jälleen se kohoaa
yli tähtien siintäväin tarhain.
