BURNING SONG

Uuno Kailas(1901-1933)

To the end of a wintry path ended
and to the snows as an ice froze
one wanderer from here.
- Yet a song sounded from over his head.

It sounded and - blazingly burned,
and on the brow of the sleeper shed
a wreath of fire.
It glittered like a crown's gold.

(Palava laulu, from Hannu Sarala(ed.): Jo valkenee kaukainen ranta: Suomalaisia runoja, 1989, page 77.)
