Analysis of Med mine 'Samlede Skrifter'

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



Du voxte op i mit Hjertes Hjem,
Som Slægtning jeg paa Dig holder.
Tag her min Tanke-Skat, den gjem,
Mens dit eget Liv sig udfolder.
Og naar Du saa staaer med sølvhvidt Haar
Og jeg er, hvor Du skal komme, -
Husk, Du var mig kjær fra dit første Aar,
Og bliver — hvor Aarstal er omme.
