Analysis of Improviseret Skaaltale for Etatsraad Melchior
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
En Børneflok paa Fødselsdagen bad,
Og Barnets Ønske groer som Rosens Blad;
Hvert snoer sig her om Glasset, som vi tømme;
En Hustru lægger Perlen paa dets Bund.
Hun kysse Livets Lykke paa din Mund!
Til Virkelighed blive Hjertets Drømme! -
