Du stærke Død, din Taushed vækker Gru

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



Du stærke Død, din Taushed vækker Gru;
Dit Spor er jo kun Kirkegaardens Grave.
Skal Tankens Jakobs-Stige gaae itu?
Staaer jeg kun op, som Græs i Dødens Have?
 
Vor største Liden tidt ei Verden seer!
Du, som var ene, lige til det sidste,
I Verden meget trykker Hjertet meer,
End Jorden, som de kaste paa din Kiste!
