FOR THE LAST TIME

Kaarlo Sarkia(1902-1945)

Oh, likely for the last time

I just saw you in the night

and after you for a moment

stayed gazing...

You were swallowed by a black street

into its dark maw -

so forlorn was left the spirit

in its hot longing...

[Viime kerran; Runot(Porvoo: WSOY 1959), teoksen sivulta 72.]
