Analysis of Til Capitainlieutenant Chr. Wulff

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



Du fører Danmarks Løve
Og Danmarks stolte Flag,
Og Seiren kan ei tøve
I en retfærdig Sag.
Gud er med os i Slaget,
Hvor Ærlighed gaaer frem.
Bring Kongen, Folket, Flaget
Med Seierskrands her hjem!
