Analysis of Til mig Du kom som Lille, barnlig-glad

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




Til mig Du kom som Lille, barnlig-glad.
Hvor lyste Dine Øine uskyldsklare!
Du bad mig skrive her paa dette Blad;
Mon vel som Ældre Du det vil bevare?
Maaskee! — Gid da endnu med Barne-Sind
Du føle Livets Solskin paa din Kind
Og i dit Hjerte! — Tiden snart forsvinder;
Det nyligt skrevne Blad er — gamle Minder.
