A Finnish Summer Night-Finlandia

Twin brides of light hold back the night so endless
 Sun kissed, the moon in deepese scarlet dream
 I find no sleep when beams this summer fool on high
 For gaze I must upon its radiant jewel
 I find no peace, no rest to still awareness
 Sweet rays of hope, calm now my searching soul
 Strangest of light, which burns as day is dying
 Wash o'er my sould that I may sleep secure
 Most gentle nurse, long bringer of tranqulity
 Now bathes my eyes in nature's purest glow
 And would these rays endure for all abiding
 Still let them shine for all the world to see
 My sun, my moon, my sisters of invention
 Whose beads of light fall soft upon the mist
 Take up thy brush upon this northern canvas
 Come paint for me a Finnish summer night
 Take up thy brush upon this northern canvas
 Fashion for me a Finnish summer night
