Venskabs-Pagten

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




Nu flyve vi bort fra den danske Strand,
Heelt ud om fremmede Lande,
Og saa er' vi nede i Grækenland
Ved de deilige kornblaae Vande.
 
Citrontræet staaer med sin guulgule Frugt,
Den tynger mod Jorden Grenen;
Der Tidslen groer, der Billeder smukt
Er hugget i Marmorstenen,
 
Hvor Hyrden sidder; hans Hund har sig lagt
Tæt ved ham, dens Plads vi tage
Og høre fortælle om Venskabs Pagt,
En smuk Skik fra gamle Dage.
