ON THE SWELLS

Vilppu Kaukonen eli Vilppu Koskimies(1868-1923)

On the swells my bark
rises and falls.

As swells my mind
roars and calms.

Swells are memories
of the rage of storms.

Swells are portents
of a cloudless sky.

Mainingeilla has been translated from the page 177 of the anthology Jo valkenee kaukainen ranta: Suomalaisia runoja(1989), which was edited by Hannu Sarala.
