Pakkasyö on ja leiskuen,
Pohja loimuja viskoo
Kansa kartanon hiljaisen,
Yösydän-untaan kiskoo
Ääneti kuu käy kulkuaan,
Puissa lunta on valkeanaan
Kattojen päällä on lunta,
Tonttu ei vaan saa unta
Ladosta tulee, hankeen jää,
Harmaana uksen suuhun
Vanhaan tapaansa tirkistää,
Kohti taivasta, kuuhun
Katsoo metsää, min hongat on,
Tuulen suojana kartanon
Miettivi suuntaan sataan,
Ainaista ongelmataan
Vaiti metsä on alla jään,
Kaikki elämä makaa
Koski kuohuvi yksinään,
Humuten metsän takaa
Tonttu, puoleksi unissaan,
Ajan virtaa on kuulevinaan
Tuumii minne se vienee,
Missä sen lähde lienee
Pakkasyö on ja leiskuen,
Pohja loimuja viskoo
Kansa kartanon hiljaisen,
Aamuhun unta kiskoo
Ääneti kuu käy laskemaan,
Puissa lunta on valkeanaan
Kattojen päällä on lunta,
Tonttu ei vaan saa unta
