Oi, kallis Suomi, äiti verraton

Oi, kallis Suomi, äiti verraton
sun onnes onni meidän olkohon!
Tää vala, veikot, siskot vannokaamme:
Sa parhaan lempemme saat, syntymaamme!
Jos lapses ken sua inha-iskuin lyö,
sen kuiluhunsa nielköön hornan yö;
vaan Sinä Suomi, Pohjan tähti kirkas,
käy eespäin, loista: valkeus on virkas!
Loista, loista Suomenmaa!

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