Into the Hollow of a Stone
Written by Kimmo Ihanus.
The background is on the folklore page.
Go, pain Into the hollow of a stone Beneath the clodded boulder The stone does not weep for pains The slab does not lament ailments! Go, sorrow — into the hollow of a stone The rock does not mourn, the earth does not grieve Sink beneath the clodded boulder The stone holds no memory of you! Go, dread Into the hollow of a stone Beneath the frozen tundra The frost does not carry your name The darkness does not call you back! Go, sorrow — into the hollow of a stone The rock does not mourn, the earth does not grieve Sink beneath the clodded boulder The stone holds no memory of you! Go, grief Into the hollow of a stone Beneath the rootless birch tree The bark does not bleed for the lost The timber does not carry the dead! Go, sorrow — into the hollow of a stone The rock does not mourn, the earth does not grieve Sink beneath the clodded boulder The stone holds no memory of you! Go, sorrow — into the hollow of a stone The rock does not mourn, the earth does not grieve Sink beneath the clodded boulder The stone holds no memory of you!
