Part 1 of a documentary about church boats (kirkkovene), long rowing boats, which carried parishoners, sometimes really long distances, to Sunday service. The church boat was usually built and owned by many households together. The footage for this documentary was shot in 1938, but the commentary is from 1957.

Could you tell what poetry is at the beginning? Author and title? And above all the translation? :)
