Analysis of Ved et Barns Død
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Dit Øie loe, din Kind var rød,
Sødt klang din Barne-Stemme,
Nu er Du bleg og kold og død,
Vi kan Dig aldrig glemme.
Hvert Aar naar Julen kommer nær,
Og Alt er Barne-Glæde,
Vi pynte Dig ei grønne Træer,
Vi mindes Dig — og græde!
