Analysis of Med en Dukke [Dukken her er ingen Dukke]

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



Dukken her er ingen Dukke,
Hun er en forhexet En,
Kan ei græde, kan ei sukke,
Røre Arme eller Been;
Kun ved inderlig Caresse
Og ved Omgang blid og god
Hun forvandles til Prindsesse,
Som hun var, det Rosenblod!
