THE CARESS OF DEATH

Kaarlo Sarkia(1902-1945)

O Death, my longed for,

on your arms I have rested.

Blessed was the dream with you,

let my song witness that.

Once already you kissed me,

from your lotus lips received

medicine more sweet I

than from the lips of the dwellers of the earth.

(Kuoleman hyväily, 1936.)
