For Danmark!

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



Det er en stor alvorlig Tid,
Men fast til Gud staaer al vor Lid,
Vi stride jo den gode Strid
        For Danmark!
 
Vi vil vor Ret, og ikke meer!
Vor Herre vil, det bedste skeer,
Thi freidig fremad hver Mand seer,
        For Danmark!
 
Paa Marken, ved det aabne Hav,
Staaer mangen gammel Kjæmpe-Grav,
Om Kraften i os Vink den gav
        For Danmark!
 
I Landets Vaaben altid stod
Tre Løver, de betyde Mod,
Ni Hjerter, det er ærligt Blod
        For Danmark!
 
Og som af Krøniken vi saae:
Een Mand kan tolv Mænds Styrke faae.
Ved Enighed vi den vil naae,
        For Danmark!
