TOTUUS

Sinust' eivät tiedä ne ihmiset, jotka


joka päivä sun nimeesi vannovat suulla.

Sinä levität siipesi ristinpuulla


ja kaartelet taivaita, kotka.

IHMISEN MÄÄRÄ
IHMISEN MÄÄRÄ

Ei ole ihmisen hyvä — jos hän on heikko — tuntea, nähdä ja


elää kaikkea: kuilu on syvä, siellä on vaaniva peikko.

Inhimillisen luota on moni mennyt — inhimillisen tähden:


mieletön, harhaillut suota viekkaita virvoja nähden.

Yksi on — veljeni, tiedä — ihmisen määrä: kaikessa


ihminen olla, suon yli polkunsa viedä vuorille, hyljätä väärä.

Matkalla voi moni tällä


langeta, nousta.
Mutta ken itsensä hukkaa
sielunsa näännyttämällä,
hänen on mahdoton nousta.

Veljeni, määrä on loitto:


kuoleman luoksi!
Ihmisen ylpeys olkoon,
vaikkakin turha on voitto,
taistella turhan vuoksi.
Kauneus, untemme sisar on opas meillä: laulaen kuoleva
joutsen, lehden poimussa pisar, myös tomu kultainen teillä.

PURRESSA
RUNOILIJAN LAULU

Li-Tai-Pe.

Ma, kansan runoilija, lauloin lauluain,


ja kansan kuulla huilu ilakoi.
Äänt' armiasta kuunneltu ei lain.
Nyt jumalteni talon eessä huilu soi.

Ja parviss' elonhartaat, hullut jumalat


punaisen pilven päällä tanssivat.
Ja silloin hämmästyen kuuli kansa maan
ihmettä, lauluani lennossaan.
PURRESSA

Li-Tai-Pe.

(Hans Bethgen mukaan.)

Niin kepeästi pursi vettä viiltää väkevin aironvedoin.


Seuranamme on kauniit immet huiluin kultaisin.

He soittavat ja taas he kujeilevat.


Ja jalo viini kuohuu pikareissa,
ja mieliin syttyy riemu vallaton.

Kai odottavat mua kuolottomat


sinessä haikaralla ratsastaen —
jään, huoleton, mä purteen kepeään.

Ne palatsit ja linnat, jotka kerran


näilt' autioilta kukkuloilta nousi,
on sortuneet, on tyystin hävinneet.

Ylevän runoilijan suuret sanat


ikuiset ovat niinkuin muistomerkki,
mi välkkyvänä tähtiin kohoaa.
Kun haltioidun, tartun piirtimeeni,
luon laulun kohisevan, niinkuin myrskyn,
ja viisi pyhää vuorta vapisee.

On minuss' ylpeys ja ilo, — nauran


maan tämän kirjaville antimille:
ne kukanlehden lailla varisee.

Jos valtaa, kunniaa ja rikkautta


mä joskus tavoitan ja niihin kiinnyn,
Keltainen Virta pyörtää takaisin.
VAIMON VALITUS

Thu-Fu.

(Bethgen mukaan.)

Hän yksin istui laaksoss' autiossa, nuor' vaimo, jolle


kauneuden lahjan ol' ihmeellisen suonut sallimus.

Hän puhui: Vaikka kodist' ylhäisestä,


mä sentään kokenut oon kovan onnen
ja erämaasta etsin turvaa nyt.

On julma tuho käynyt yli maani,


sen hävittänyt: saivat surman veljet,
ah nuoruutensa loistoss' ihanat.

Ei heidän ruumiitansa suotu mulle,


jott' oisin voinut saattaa heidät hautaan —
nyt viha, raakuus aikaa hallitsee.

On olo epävarmaa, niinkuin liekki


on soihdun tuulessa. Mun jättänyt
on puolisoni ajan melskeisiin.
Ei voimaa, suuruutt' ollut sydämessään,
yks halu hällä vain on: joku vetää
muu nauravainen nainen povelleen.

Nyt hänen silmiänsä kiehtoo sulo


jo toisien. Oi että kuulis kerran
hän huokausta naisen hyljätyn!

Oon piikani mä lähettänyt kauas


mun korujeni timantteja myymään,
mut ruokomajaani mä itse jään.

On maja kehno. Korjata ma koen


sen seinäin hataruutta köynnöksillä,
on ilma kylmä, vaatteet ohuet.

Tuo piiat kukkasia — viekää pois ne.


Ei kukist' ole. Merkiks surustani
te tuokaa mulle oksa sypressin.

Jo ilta saa. Mä tahdon suojapaikan


tuolt' alta suurten bamburuokoin löytää
yön leposijaks kylmän, aution.
JOS OISIN TULI

Cecco Angiolieri.

(Mukaelma.)

Jos oisin tuli, palais maailmanne.


Jos oisin tuulispää, sen hajoittaisin.
Jos oisin meri, maan ma hukuttaisin.
Jos oisin Jumala: — voi kauhuanne!

Jos oisin paavi: miten sielujanne,


te roistot, kristityt, mä kiduttaisin!
Jos oisin kuningas, niin ripustaisin
mä teidät hirteen koirat kimpussanne!

Jos oisin kuolema, ois syli mulla


taas avoin vanhemmille. Yli harmaan
en kynnyksen voi elävänä tulla.

Jos oisin Cecco — hm, se olen varmaan, niin olkoot


ihanimmat neitseet mulla; ja muille suon ma sulottoman
armaan.
RITARI OLAVI

Heinrich Heine.

I.

Katedraalin eessä kaksi miestä punakauhtanaista: kuningas


on toinen niistä, toinen pyövel' ammatiltaan.

Kruunupäinen pyövelille
puhuu: "Pappi messun alkoi,
pian päättyy vihkiminen —
pidä piilus valmihina."

Kellonsoitto, pauhu urkuin,


kirkost' ulos väki tulvii:
keskell' uljaan juhlasaaton
nuoret vihkikoruissansa.

Kauhun-kalvas, vapiseva
tuo on kaunis prinsessainen;
huolt' ei huimall' Olavilla,
suulla punaisell' on hymy.
Hymy suulla punaisella,
niin hän puhuu kuninkaalle:
"Hyvää huoment', appiukko,
katkot tänään kaulan multa.

Kuolen tänään — suo mun vielä


elää keskiyöhön asti,
että voisin hääni nämä
pidoin, soihtutanssein viettää.

Suo mun elää, suo mun elää,


kunnes juon mä viime maljan,
kunnes tanssin viime tanssin —
suo mun keskiyöhön elää!"

Kruunupäinen pyövelille puhuu: "Vävy säilyttäköön


keskiyöhön asti hengen — pidä piilus valmihina."

II.

Nämä häät ovat ritari Olavin, nyt juo hän viime pikarin. Ja nyt
painaa vasten poveaan hän armastaan — oven takana
pyöveli seisoo.

Soi soitto, ja Olavi nuorikon vie karkeloon: raju, huima on


tämä tanssi loimussa soihtujen, elon viimeinen — oven
takana pyöveli seisoo.

Mikä riemu nyt viulujen kielissä soi,


miten nyyhkiä huilun ääni voi.
Ken heidän tanssivan nähdä saa,
sitä kouristaa —
oven takana pyöveli seisoo.

He tanssivat kauan ja lähekkäin, mies puolisolleen kuiskaa


näin: "Miten rakas oot, et tietää voi — vilu haudass' on, oi" —
oven takana pyöveli seisoo.

III.

Herra Olavi, on jo keskiyö ja päätös matkasi maisen. Jo mielin


määrin nauttinut olet lempeä prinsessaisen.

Jo munkit messua hymisee,


ja punakauhtanassa
mies seisoo piilu kädessään,
jo on pölkky vartomassa.

Ja ritari Olavi hoviin käy,


valo, miekat kipunoivat.
Ja ritarin suu on punainen,
suu hymyy, ja sanat soivat:

"Minä siunaan auringon, siunaan kuun,


joka tähtiretkeläisen,
minä siunaan linnun jokaisen
sini-ilmassa livertäväisen.

Ole siunattu, meri, ole siunattu, maa,


ja keto kukkinesi:
minä siunaan orvokit, suloiset
kuin vaimoni silmien mesi.
Ah, tummat silmät puolison, nyt kauttanne päätän retken.
Minä siunaan seljan: ah, alla sen näin antaumukses hetken."
SÄKEITÄ TUNTEMATTOMASTA

Georg Herwegh.

Mä tahdon kuolla ruskon kuoleman, kuin päivä, viime


hehkussansa nukkuin — ah, kuolon tajuttoman, ihanan — niin
kuolla, syliin Ikuisimman hukkuin.

Mä tahdon kuolla lailla tähtien,


täys kirkkautta, silmän sammumatta,
ja taivaan pohjattomaan sinehen
pois mennä hiljaa, kivun koskematta.

Mä tahdon kuolla sinun kuolemas,


maan kukkain tuoksu, perhoslentimille
mi ilmaan kimpoat ja, riemukas,
saat suitsutukseks Herran alttarille.

Mä tahdon kuolla niinkuin kaste tuo,


kun janoisina aamun liekit palaa;
oi Jumala, niin sydämeni juo
kuin päivänsäteet kasteen juovat salaa!
Mä tahdon kuolla niinkuin säveleet,
joit' arat harpun kielet huminoivat:
ne ovat tuskin harpun jättäneet,
kun kohta Luojan sydämessä soivat. —

Et kuole iltaruskon kuolemaan,


et täältä hiljaa tähden lailla vaivu,
et kuole kivutta kuin kukka maan,
ei sielus puoleen aamusäde taivu.

Sä kuolet kyllä, jäljettömihin, mut kurjuudessa voimas


talttuu, turtuu: saa vienon kuolon luonto ikuisin, mut
ihmissydän kappaleittain murtuu.
HYMNI KAUNEUDELLE

Charles Baudelaire.

Laps Haadeksen vai taivaan ootko, Kauneus? On katsees


— jumalainen, saatanallinen — kuin rikoksen ja siunauksen
sekoitus, siks olet niinkuin viinin myrkky suloinen.

On samall' illan, aamun valo katseessas,


on tuoksus ruusuin, rajuilman ruhjomain,
on malja täynnä taikajuomaa suudelmas,
se lamaa sankaria, lasta virvoittain.

Syvyydest' astutko vai luota tähtien?


Kuin koira seuraa turmelus sun liepeilläs.
Sä tuhon sekä riemun kylvät leikiten,
oot opas, mut et näytä, mik' on määränäs.

Käyt nauru huulillasi yli vainajain,


ja Kauhu ylvähin on sinun koruistas.
Ja lailla punakorallien hehkuvain
öin nähdään Murhan kiertyvän sun kaulahas.
Niin korennoinen lentää liekkiin kynttilän,
ja; "Terve, kirkkaus!" se kuiskaa kuollessaan.
Mies huohottava vierell' immen viehkeän
kuin kuoleva on, hyväilevä multaa maan.

Oi kauhistava Kauneus! Se yhtä lie,


oletko viesti Saatanan vai Jumalan,
jos vain sun hymys, katsehesi portti, tie
on maahan, jot' en tunne, mutta rakastan.

Seraafi taikka seireeni, se yhtä on,


jos teet sä — keijukainen silkkisilmäinen,
sä kuningatar laulun, valon, tuoksujen —
vähemmän iljettäväks maan, ja tuokion.
VIINIHOURE

Charles Baudelaire.

Tää päivä on kuin unelmaa.


Ei suitsia, ei satulaa!
Selässä viinin ratsastain
luo keijujen ja jumalain.

Kuin enkeleitä kiidättää


suur delirium-houre tää
meit' etäisimpiin taivaihin
kautt' aamunkoiton kristallin.

Näin myrskyn siipi meitä vie,


myös sydämillä siivet lie.
Oi sisar, lento nopsa niin
vie unelmaini taivaisiin.
KOHOAMINEN

Charles Baudelaire.

Yli suitsevain taivasten, aurinkojen, meren, pilvien, laakson


ja vuoriston, valo maailmain kunis sammunut on, taa eetterin,
taa avaruuksien

tavall' uimarin, tyrskyjen huumaaman, — palavan,


sanomattoman riemukas — niin ylös pakenet, henkeni,
korkeuksiin läpi kaikkeuspiirin valtavan.

Ah, pois hämäryydestä laaksojen


ylös taivasten puhtaiden tuoksujen luo;
jumalviinistä oma osas juo,
tulest' äärettömän, syvän kaikkeuden!

Surut, kyltymys, taistelu rauhaton


sorass', usvissa tien yhä taakkanas ois:
valon siivillä ken osas kiitää pois
ylevään ikirauhaan, se autuas on!
Ajatukset, ah, kiuruina kirmaten ylös lentävät aamuun, ja
laakso jää, kokonaan elon nähden ne ymmärtää mykän
luonnon kieltä ja kukkien.
