by Pontus Kaarlo Artti, né Tengström (1878 - 1936)

Poluilla harmajilla harhaellen
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Poluilla harmajilla harhaellen
Mun aatokseni ajat pitkät kulki
Yön ahdistukset, päivän helteet kestäin
Ja kooten mustain tuntehitten taakkaa.

Se oli raskas, kun sun luokses sitten
Mä saavuin kahtamielin arkaellen;
Mä pelkäsin sun riemus surmaavani,
Ja kumminkin sua kaipasin ja etsin.

Sun äänes kirkkaan väreilyn kun kuulin,
Niin sydäntäni pisti raskas syytös:
Miks yölle pettää tahdot päivän lapsen!

Kun minuun katsoit kumman tutkivasti
Kuin nähnyt oisit sielun pohjiin asti,
Niin hiivin pois ja itkin katkerasti.
