Kalevala : the Epic Poem of Finland — Complete. AnonymousЧитать онлайн книгу.

       Knowing neither pain nor trouble.

       Then the ancient Wainamoinen

       Raised his eyes to high Jumala,

       Looked with gratitude to heaven,

       Looked on high, in joy and gladness,

       Then addressed omniscient Ukko,

       This the prayer the minstrel uttered:

       "O be praised, thou God of mercy,

       Let me praise thee, my Creator,

       Since thou gavest me assistance,

       And vouchsafed me thy protection,

       Healed my wounds and stilled mine anguish,

       Banished all my pain and trouble,

       Caused by Iron and by Hisi.

       O, ye people of Wainola,

       People of this generation,

       And the folk of future ages,

       Fashion not in emulation,

       River boat, nor ocean shallop,

       Boasting of its fine appearance,

       God alone can work completion,

       Give to cause its perfect ending,

       Never hand of man can find it,

       Never can the hero give it,

       Ukko is the only Master."
