Analysis of Brudstykke af en Rundsang
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Kurvemageren:
Kurvene gjør just vor Lykke,
Kurve gjort med Vid og Aand.
Kurven er et herligt Stykke,
Naar den er i Pigehaand;
Dog, hvordan det ogsaa gaaer,
Kurven først fra os hun faaer!
Snedkeren:
Høvler, hamrer, muntre Svende!
Og husk paa, hvad tidt er sagt:
Naar det Jordiske har Ende,
Fire Fjæle er vor Pragt;
Men for Kisten, som jeg slaaer,
Selv en Brudeseng jeg faaer.
