Who will give him wise directions,
Guide the wizard out of trouble,

From the battle-hosts of Louhi,
Streaming from the doors and window,
Of the homesteads of Pohyola.

But the moonlight burned his temples,
And the sunshine singed his feathers.

"Ukko, God of love and mercy,
Thou the Wisdom of the heavens,
Wise Director of the lightning,
Thou the Author of the thunder,
Thou the Guide of all the cloudlets,
