Ilmarinen, the magician, / The eternal metal-artist, / Lays aside the golden image, / Beauteous maid of magic metals;
Throws the harness on his courser, / Binds him to his sledge of birch-wood, / Seats himself upon the cross-bench, / Snaps the whip above the racer, / Thinking once again to journey / To the mansions of Pohyola, / There to woo a bride in honor, / Second daughter of the Northland.
