Oi toivo, toivo, sa lietomieli

Oi toivo, toivo, sa lietomieli,
oi ällös, luotani lennä pois!
Jos ootkin liehuva, liukaskieli,
en sittenkään sinun mennä sois.

Oi perho, perho, sa kultasiipi,
sa luoksein' ainiaks' jää, o jää!
Kun konsa mieleeni murhe hiipi,
sen kuvitantasi poisti tää.

by Aukusti Valdemar Forsman (Koskimies) (1856-1929) , published 1897
