Kjærlighed

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



See Solen blusser saa elskovsrød!
Den lægger sit Hoved i Bølgens Skjød.
Dog, hvem kan skildre det ret med Ord!
Tilbedende tier den hele Jord,
Kun Blomsterne nikke i Vinden,
De kysse hinanden paa Kinden.
 
I Bugten, hist hvor Sivene groe,
Der gynge i Baaden de Elskende to;
I Havet, i Øiet og høit i det Blaae,
Alle tre Steder jo Himle staae,
Men allerherligst blandt disse,
Er Øiets Himmel tilvisse.
 
Den Himmel eier det reneste Blaae,
Og Tankerne der, som Stjerner staae;
Der skuer man klart i Aandernes Land!
Man føler sig Barn og dog en Mand;
Hver Tanke mod Himlen sig taber,
Og Hjertet troer paa sin Skaber.
