Ak, var der dog kun et eneste Sprog

Hans Christian Andersen

Ak, var der dog kun et eneste Sprog,
Et eneste Sprog paa Jorden;
Saa deiligt man da hinanden forstod
Fra Syd til det yderste Norden.
 
De Ord er' tidt sagt; men reis Du dog
Til Andalusiens Dale;
Der er et eneste fælles Sprog,
Øine og Pulse det tale.
