by Juhana Heikki Erkko (1849 - 1906)

Aamusumussa
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Päiv' ei pääse paistamahan,
kuu on valtaa vailla,
ihmissilm' ei kauas näytä
aamu-usvan mailla.
Mutta meill' on oiva usko,
että päivä voittaa,
Siksi mieli kirkastuupi,
ääni raikas soittaa.
Aamu-usvan mailla
päivä vielä voittaa.

Siksi Suomi taisteleepi,
siksi teemme työtä,
että valon henkivoimat
viihtyisivät myötä,
että meissä selkiäisi
sumut Suomen maasta,
ettei veljyt veljyttänsä
riistä eikä raasta.
Me kun teemme työtä,
sumut poistuu maasta.
