THE FIRST SNOW

Kaarlo Sarkia(1902-1945)

The chains of the autumn mists broke,
summer its prisoner releases:
Now the seams of the clouds burst,
are falling snowflakes!

Through the air they silently sway
over the barren, desolate land.
How the restless heart
yearns for a white frost lily.

How blessed it's to allow
cool snow to chill
that brow which still bears
summer's burning memory!

(Ensi lumiVelka elämälle, 1931, sivu 53.)
