Omenankukat
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Mun onneni kukkii kuin omenapuu
kevätöissä valoisissa,
kun kuusten latvat ne [punertuu]1
ja immet on unelmissa.

Ne yöt pari ympäri helluntain
ne yöt on suuret ja syvät,
ja silloin jos ei tule tuuli vain,
niin kypsyvät heelmät hyvät.

Oi, antaos taivas tyyntä nyt,
ja sitten sä annatkin muuta!
oi, varjele Luojani vakainen
nyt orvon omenapuuta!
