Ajnó a tengerparton, az Ajnó-legenda című triptichon jobboldali szárnya

Reggel, még úgy hajnaltájba,
Néz a félsziget fokára,
Hát a fokon lány van három,
Fürdenek a tengerháton,
Negyedikül Ajnó szökik,
A virágszál mint ötödik.

Veti üngét fűbokorra,
Szoknyáit egy szép topolyra,
Botosát a puszta földre,
Kis cipőjét vízi kőre,
Gyöngyét part homokja közzé,
Gyűrűit a murva közé.

Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865–1931) is one of Finland’s most important artists. From the very beginning of his career he captivated the attention of the art world with his naturalistic, unromanticized renderings of ordinary people. Later, his great works on subjects from Finland’s national epic the Kalevala made him the supreme interpreter of Finnish character as expressed in myth and the leading exponent of nationalist feeling in painting.
