Analysis of Min lille Fugl, hvor flyver Du?

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



Min lille Fugl, hvor flyver Du,
Imellem grønne Grene?
Ak mon jeg rinder Dig i Hu?
Mit Hjerte briste vil itu — !
— O Gud, hvor jeg dog er ene!

Du sagde, at Du var mig god;
Ja, godt mig Alle mene,
Men hvis Du ret min Sorg forstod,
Du kom, Du sang mig Sjæle-Mod,
Da sad jeg ikke alene!

Min lille Fugl, Du kommer ei
Fra dine grønne Grene;
Jeg stille vandre maa min Vei —;
Ak, ingen elsker Dig som jeg!
— O Gud, hvor jeg dog er ene!
