Analysis of Louise Ipsen og C. St. A. Bille

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



Før Talen
Vort Liv har mangen Høitidsdag,
Hvor Hjertet hejser Krands og Flag
Og dog i Alvor banker;
Da løfte sig ved Orgelklang,
Saa tillidsfuldt i Glædes-Sang,
De stille Alvors-Tanker.
Gud er hos os paa Lykkens Dag,
Han styrker os ved Modgangs Slag.
Hvor kan da Hjertet bæve!
Ung Elskov i sin Blomsterflor
Med Kronen ind i Himlen groer.
Did op sig Tanken hæve!

Efter Talen
I knælede for Herrens Bord,
Udtalte Sammenholdets Ord,
Som Troskab kan dem sige.
I eders Sind er Ungdoms Vaar,
Den blive, selv bag sølvhvidt Haar,
Og end hist i Guds Rige!
