MIDSUMMER

Eino Leino(1878-1926)

I open my heart fully

and let the day shine,

I want to bath in all the waters

and every berry to taste.

In my mind there is Midsummer

and celebration and the summer solstice,

and even if I weep in the evenings,

then there's a rainbow.

(Juhannus; Sata ja yksi laulua, 1898.)
