FLY

Kössi Kaatra(1882-1928)

Fly, oh fly,

white wings of light,

there, where night you see,

there fly.

Illuminate in false nights

great torch of holiness,

let you shine in dark places,

shine you the solace of the night.

Hurl out sparks,

billow you flame,

comfort crying

seekers of the light.

Fly, oh fly,

white wings of light,

there, where night you see,

there fly.
