by Hilja Haahti (1874 - 1966)

Kun päivä paistaa
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Our translations:  ENG
Päivyt, paistaos hellien
Pohjan kylmälle hangellen!
Kukat vielä on uinumassa,
aalto jäisessä vankilassa;
vaan sun lämpöinen sätehes'
mulle kertovi terveises':
kohta poissa on nietos, jää,
kohta koittavi kevätsää.

Päivyt, paistaos hellien,
paista Suomeni korpehen!
Miss' on puute ja murhe musta,
sinne saattaos lohdutusta!
Kerro lämpimin sätehin:
päätyy huolien talvikin,
toivo, Luojahan luota vaan,
kevät koittavi aikanaan!
