by Walter von Konow (1866 - 1943)

Kotikaipaus
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Kevein siivin niinkuin tuuli
ajatuksein kiitää pois -
Oi, jos joku niitä kuuli -
surun lievitystä tois!
Tuonne kaipaan, oi, jos voisin
lentää niinkuin lintunen,
iloinen kuin sekin oisin,
saisin nähdä kultaisen.
Ei oo ihminen tuo kulta,
jota nähdä haluisin -
oma metsä, oma multa,
josta olen kotoisin.
