On kaikki syksyn tähdet syttyneet. Taas seison yksin kotitasangolla. On kedot runsaan sadon kantaneet, mut mun on autio ja tyhjä olla. Ma yössä ajattelen itseksein: niin monet kylvöt täällä tähkään ehti -- miss' on mun vuoteni, mun nuoruutein? Ma olen syksyn irrallinen lehti. Maan multa, siemenenä uudestaan sa minut ota povees versomahan, sun kesääs kauniimpana kukkimaan, sun syksyys kypsempänä kuolemahan!
