Louhi, hostess of the Northland, / Heard the word in Sariola, / Heard the news with ears of envy, / That Wainola lives and prospers, / That Osmoinen's wealth increases, / Through the ruins of the Sampo, / Ruins of the lid in colors.

Thereupon her wrath she kindled, / Well considered, long reflected, / How she might prepare destruction / For the people of Wainola, / For the tribes of Kalevala.
