Analysis of S. Meisling
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Du blev i Hjemmet. I dit Hjem Du gav,
Som faa af De, der reise for — at reise.
Du gav fra Romas og fra Hellas Grav,
Hvad der som Aandens Mausoleer kneise;
Med Flid og Omhu Du os Skatten bragte,
At Du er Skjald, os Columbine sagde.
