DO YOU STILL REMEMBER THAT PSALM

Eino Leino(1878-1926)

Oh, do you still remember the psalm,

which as children we sang,

when the night close to the window moved -

that psalm it entertained so.

It gave peace to the bosom,

it belief in sleep created -

If you still remember that psalm,

now sing, sing it oh!

Muistatko vielä sen virren has been translated from the page 118 of the anthology Jo valkenee kaukainen ranta: Suomalaisia runoja(1989), which was edited by Hannu Sarala.
