Eino Leino’s Sunwind

Who ever loved one,
will have love for everyone.
Who once forgot oneself,
has a forever dream of happiness.
Those once happy themselves,
will wish joy for everyone else
and give and give and spread
around that breast swelling joy for life.
Many faiths on earth
and one another to thank,
But a mother has a faith, only one,
for a lifetime enough:
As much we are gentle,
is how we join the eternal.
That is counted our legacy,
when we meet our days end.
