Never come a-fishing, father, To the borders of these waters, Never during all thy life-time, As thou lovest daughter Aino. Mother dear, I sought the sea-side, There to sport among the billows; With the stone of many colors, Sank poor Aino to the bottom Of the deep and boundless blue-sea, Like a pretty song-bird perished. Never mix thy bread, dear mother, With the blue-sea's foam and waters, Never during all thy life-time, As thou lovest daughter Aino. Brother dear, I sought the sea-side, There to sport among the billows; With the stone of many colors Sank poor Aino to the bottom Of the deep and boundless blue-sea, Like a pretty song-bird perished. Never bring thy prancing war-horse, Never bring thy royal racer, Never bring thy steeds to water, To the borders of the blue-sea, Never during all thy life-time, As thou lovest sister Aino. Sister dear, I sought the sea-side, There to sport among the billows; With the stone of many colors Sank poor Aino to the bottom Of the deep and boundless blue-sea, Like a pretty song-bird perished. Never come to lave thine eyelids In this rolling wave and sea-foam, Never during all thy life-time, As thou lovest sister Aino. All the waters in the blue-sea Shall be blood of Aino's body; All the fish that swim these waters Shall be Aino's flesh forever; All the willows on the sea-side Shall be Aino's ribs hereafter; All the sea-grass on the margin Will have grown from Aino's tresses.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Elias Lönnrot" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/elias-l-nnrot/once-to-swim-i-sought-the-sea-side-there-to-sport-among-the-billows/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ceb/elias-l-nnrot-73208_death_once-to-swim-i-sought-the-sea-side-there_1198506.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ceb/elias-l-nnrot-73208_death_once-to-swim-i-sought-the-sea-side-there_1198506.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ceb/elias-l-nnrot-73208_death_once-to-swim-i-sought-the-sea-side-there_1198506.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Once to swim I sought the sea-side, There to sport among the billows; With the stone of many colors Sank…” — Elias Lönnrot", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/waters-shall/elias-l-nnrot/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/waters-shall/elias-l-nnrot/", "name": "Waters Shall Quotes by Elias Lönnrot", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/waters-shall/elias-l-nnrot/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ceb/elias-l-nnrot-73208_death_once-to-swim-i-sought-the-sea-side-there_1198506.jpg" }, "description": "1 Waters Shall quotes by Elias Lönnrot.
