Taivahan holvi, valkeuden valtava vuo, Taas minun silmäni, Sieluni hohtoas juo! Taas olet ylläni, Kauneus ääretön, uus, Taas olet eessäni, Laupias katoovaisuus. Ruskojen ruusut, liekit portailla yön! Niist' olet yksi sa myös, Tuli purpurasyön! Kaunista, kaunista sammuvan leimuta noin, Laps' olla yön ja päivän korkean koin, Laps' olla maan ja laps' olla auringon. Autuas, autuas tää osa ihminen on!
