"Pieni runon-seppä" by D. E. D. Europaeus is a collection of Finnish folk poetry and songs written in the mid-19th century.

Through its verses, the compilation reflects the cultural heritage and oral traditions of the Finnish people, celebrating themes such as nature, love, and daily life. The opening of "Pieni runon-seppä" features a series of lyrical compositions that depict various themes drawn from the natural world and human experiences. The initial pieces introduce characters like the swallows, embodying notions of summer and the cycle of life, while subsequent verses delve into stories about Lappish youth and their interactions with the elements of their environment.
