KEEPING ONE'S WORD

Kaarlo Kramsu(1855-1895)

Fair Katri stated thus:
"You I can't bear in my eyes.
Never shall I trust in you!
Hear the final word:

Rowan on the yard is:
To you shall I grant a kiss,
When strawberries branches of it
Carry, but before won't."

"Damn the decisions of girls!"
Thought Antti, so went
At Eventide to Katri:
"Certainly girl will grant a smooch!"

At the manor Katri is.
What the frolicsome is doing?
Strawberries to a rowan
The girl is binding as her work.

(Sanassaan pysyvä, from Runoelmia, 1887.)
