by Juhana Heikki Erkko (1849 - 1906)

Vanha mummo
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Kasteli kukkaa vanha mummo,
Kukkaa ikkunalla.
«Missä on tyttösi, vanha mummo?«
-- «Kaukana maailmalla«.

«Tiedätkö, millä hän kulkee tiellä,
Vaivainen mummo kulta?« --
«Tiedä en, -- maailma taisi niellä,
Taikka jo peittää multa.

Kastelen kukkaa, armastani,
Muistelen tyttölasta,
Tuskinpa jälleen puhdastani
Löytänen maailmasta.«
