Gamle Gunhild fra Barselstuen

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



Gamle Gunhild fra „Barselstuen,"
Boer paa fjerde Sal hos Fruen
Omme i Sanct Gertrudsstræde,
Dit Besøg vil hende glæde;
Hun kan Fremtids Syn Dig skaffe,
Hun kan spaae i Kaart og Kaffe,
Hun er klog, det gamle Skarn,
Jeg er hendes Barnebarn.
