by Veikko Antero Koskenniemi (1885 - 1962)

Ikävässä kenttäin huojuvaisten
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Ikävässä kenttäin huojuvaisten
syksyn täydet tähkät unelmoivat.
Illan hijaisuus ja rauha soivat
rintaan rahattomain matkalaisten,

varisparven, joka vaakkuin kiitää
metsän pimennosta laitaan niityin,
vaan kuin hiljaisuuden kuoroon liittyin
äänetönnä [yli laihon]1 liitää.

Tuskin ykskään liikahtaapi siipi.
Kaikki vanhoja on, väsyneitä.
Niinkuin omain unelmainsa teitä
yli lakeuden ne liikehtiipi

tuonne metsän hämärtävän laitaan,
vuotten kaihon mukanansa raastain,
surun sanatonta kieltä haastain
etsivät kuin ennen erämaitaan.
