About this text
Kristjan Jaak Peterson († 1822): public-domain work. The text is that of Wikisource. Its transcription, by Wikisource volunteers (contribution history), is published under the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence; so are this reading page and the EPUB file. Erostrate has not changed a single word: only the layout and the division into pages are ours.
Note on the edition (in French): Texte de l'anthologie Eesti luule antoloogia, en orthographe modernisée ; la version de 1818 en ancienne graphie n'est pas reprise.
