Explore "The Kalevala" by Elias Lönnrot on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Wainamoinen, old and truthful, / With the blacksmith, Ilmarinen, / With the reckless son of Lempo, / Handsome hero, Kaukomieli, / On the sea's smooth plain departed, / On the far-extending waters, / To the village, cold and dreary, / To the never-pleasant Northland, / Where the heroes fall and perish.
Ilmarinen led the rowers / On one side the magic war-ship, / And the reckless Lemminkainen / Led the rowers on the other.
