Explore "The Kalevala" by Elias Lönnrot on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Ahti, living on the island, / Near the Kauko-point and harbor, / Plowed his fields for rye and barley, / Furrowed his extensive pastures, / Heard with quickened ears an uproar, / Heard the village in commotion, / Heard a noise along the sea-shore, / Heard the footsteps on the ice-plain, / Heard the rattle of the sledges;
Quick his mind divined the reason, / Knew it was Pohyola's wedding, / Wedding of the Rainbow-virgin.
