Day of Eino Leino, Poetry and Summer

Today we have celebrated the day of poetry and summer, and the day has also dedicated to Eino Leino. 

Eino Leino is idolised by the Finnish poetry lovers as the greatest poet of the Finnish written languish. Born in 1878, Leino started writing poems already in his teens, and he was 18 years old when his first major collection was published, followed by 31 other poetic collections among other literary works. Leino was the leading force in the creation of the foundation of the Finnish poetry.


Apart

Remember you, love at first sight,
nightingales sing in empty soul
in darkness of my empty night.

Remember me, love at first sight,
shrikes fly in legends of the fall
and sit on your head in light.

We are remembering each other
two beautiful in summer time
a summer leaf - three summer chime.
