Analysis of Fremad!

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



Fremad! frem, I danske Drenge!
    Husk, I værne maae
Danmark, deiligst Vang og Vænge,
    Blomst paa Havets Blaa.
Værne skulle I med Staalet
Danmarks Ret og Modersmaalet,
Saa det aldrig glemmes siden.
    Gud er med i Striden!

Ærlighed til Skjold I føre!
    Fjenderne I slaae,
Saa at det for Verdens Øre
    Rigtigt runge maa.
Under Kampen Sværdet raade,
Efter Kampen Mildhed, Naade!
Fremad! frem, I danske Drenge,
    Værner Vang og Vænge.
