comp. 1884

Although it is mostly a piano piece, in the second part (measures 18–27) a two-part vocal part is also marked (in the margin, “vocal” and “piano” are marked separately). The poem in question is not in Merikanto’s manuscript. The publisher assumes that the composer could possibly have meant the accompanying poem.

Hiljaa illan hämärässä
joulu-ukko kulkee.
Pimenevi metsän rinne
yöhön seudun sulkee.
A. Nissinen
