Analysis of Gjengangerbrevenes Forfatter
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Til Gjengangerbrevenes Forfatter
Hold Dig ved Blomstens Form, giv den Værdie,
Jeg Blinde skatter Duften mest deri.
Med bitter Haan og Ring'agt Du mig slaaer,
Bliv ved — — den unge Spire let forgaaer —
Men var jeg meer end Skum paa Tidens Hav,
— En Verden staaer, som Dommer ved vor Grav.
