the occidentan eagle
Is not classed among the largest
Nor belongs he to the smallest;
One wing touches on the waters
While the other s [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][link widoczny dla zalogowanych]ps the heavens;
O'er the waves he wings his body
Strikes his beak upon the sea-cliffs
Flies aboutthen safely perches
Looks before himlooks behind him
There beholds brave Wainamoinen
On the blue-back of the ocean
And the eagle thus accosts him:
Wherefore art thouancient hero
Swimming in the deep-sea billows?
Thus the water-minstrel answered:
I am ancient Wainamoinen
Friend and fellow of the waters
Ithe famous wisdom-singer;

Went to woo a Northland maiden
Maiden from the dismal Darkland
Quickly galloped on my journey
Riding on the plain of ocean.
I arrived one morning early
At the breaking of the day-dawn.
At the bay of Luotola
Near Youkola's foaming river
Where the evil Youkahainen
Slew my steed with bow and arrow
Tried to slay me with his weapons.
On the waters fell I headlong
Plunged beneath the salt-sea's surface
From the saddle of the courser
From my dappled steed of magic.
Then arose a mighty storm-wind
From the East and West a whirlwind
Washed me seaward on the surges
