Analysis of Den bedste Drøm
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Hvad Hjertet her sig klynger til,
det lægges snart i Kiste;
selv Venskab er et Gaadespil,
hvor Traaden let kan briste.
Den bedste Drøm dog Hjertet veed,
det Drømmen er om Kjærlighed,
den skal man drømme jo som ung,
hvert Hjerte til den trænger,
den er saa smuk og dog saa tung,
at tidt den Hjertet sprænger.
