by August Engelbrekt Ahlqvist (1826 - 1889), as A. Oksanen

Sydämeni asukkaat 
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
    Yks' perkele, 
  Yks' enkeli
Asuvat sydämessäni;
  Ne taistelee
  Ja kamppailee, 
Yks' toistaan voittaa koettelee. 

    Kuin voitolle 
  Pääs' perkele, 
Niin sydän synnin ahjona 
  Se suitsuaa 
  Ja kuumoittaa, 
Kuin Etna tulta tupruaa. 

    Kuin voittaapi
  Taas enkeli,
Se muuttuu lemmen laaksoksi; 
  Ja rakkautta
  Ja rauhaa vaan 
Nyt Etnan kohta kukoistaa.

    O milloinkaan, 
  Tään sodan saan 
Sydämessäni sammumaan? 
  Oi enkeli, 
  Jos joutuisi
Sun avukses viel' enkeli!
