TIME

J. H. Erkko(1849-1906)

So passes time, like rushes a racing wheel:

When I await morning, at noon already is the day,

when until noon I await, soon arrives evening;

yet at evenings looms in sight the sky of morning.

So passes time, like rushes a racing wheel.

Aika has been translated from the page 98 of the anthology Jo valkenee kaukainen ranta: Suomalaisia runoja(1989), which was edited by Hannu Sarala.
