From the Kalevala, here is the story of the creation of the world, Ilmatar Daughter of Nature, and the birth of her son, Vainamoinen.
Lonely come the nights upon us,
Lonely dawn the brightening days;
Lonely born was Vainamoinen,
All alone, the poet immortal,
From the beautiful who bore him,
From his mother, Ilmatar -
... I am so sorry to do this to you, but this post has been moved to my new website, Widdershins and can be found in its entirety here: The Birth of Vainomoinen
