Aamuruskon siivillä : Runosäkeistöjä by Waldemar Piha
"Aamuruskon siivillä : Runosäkeistöjä by Waldemar Piha" is a collection of lyric poetry written in the early 20th century. The poems revolve around the tension between darkness and light, the cycles of nature and the seasons, inward longing and faith, and the shaping forces of homeland, myth, and memory. The book moves from existential wandering to renewal. After an opening on the traveler’s uncertain path, the first section sinks into night, storm,
and mortality while guarding a stubborn spark of hope. The sonnets turn to longing, battle and fear (Ares), the forest’s hidden springs, parents and inheritance, and a tragic echo of Aino. Muinaisuus looks back to antiquity and legend (Aphrodite), sketches a homeless prince and the quiet step of Death, then circles home to birthplace, childhood, and a prophetic voice that exalts steadfastness. In the final section, spring breaks the ice: waters loosen, light ascends, the human spirit kindles, sea sunrise and moonlit forest enlarge the gaze, and the title poem greets dawn’s wings; symbols like the lily, hymns to happiness, and a closing “Resurrection” seal the arc from wintered despair to liberated, luminous resolve.
