Lastu lainehilla

Mistä lastu lainehilla?
Pilske pieni aalon päällä?
Yksiksensä illan suussa?
Virran vettä vaeltamassa? 

Tuolta lastu lainehilla,
Pilske pieni aallon päällä: 
Pohjan lasten laitumilta, 
Sinitunturin tuvilta. 

Siellä kulta hongan kaasi, 
Veisti, veisti sulho venhon: 
Kohta vierii virran vettä, 
Neittä nuorta noutamaan!
