Vuorien taakse liitäin
Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)
Vuorien taakse liitäin haipua riemus ja tuskas suo, tietä kaukaista kiitäin sun ainaisen määräs luo! Haikean auvoisna sieltä katsees ne saavuttaa, jotk' ei voi lintujen mieltä riemukast' oivaltaa. Vuorien taakse liitäin haipua riemus ja tuskas suo, tietä kaukaista kiitäin sun ainaisen määräs luo!
