Analysis of Da hun sang

Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)



Naar Verden meer ei lytter til din Sang,
Vil jeg henrykkes ved din Læbes Klang.
Naar Ungdoms Smilet svinder fra din Mund,
Jeg seer det dog i Øiets dybe Grund.
Din Sjæl er stor, dit Hjerte er saa rigt.
Hvad gjemmer Du om mig? — Et gammelt Digt.
