After the housewarming

From my bookshelf:

'A little time passed
a moment sped by.
The fellows hurried to drink -
Lemminkäinen most of all:
Ahti got drunk, Farmind got
drunk, the full-blooded rogue got
drunk on Osmo-daughter's beer
on Kaleva-daughter's brew.
---
A red bird sang from the eaves' end:
"It is no bad sort;
it is a good sort of drink
to tip into a barrel
to mature in a cellar
in an oak barrel
inside one with copper hoops."
