Analysis of Ja Guult og Rødt er Spaniens Farver

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



Ja Guult og Rødt er Spaniens Farver,
De straale ildfuldt fra Flag og Faner,
Og Cactusblomsten dem samlet har,
En Smeltning i det hede Solkys.
Du Solens Blomst, Du Spaniens Symbol,
Du blev, da Maurerne man bortjog;
Jordbunden holdt Du, groer til et Vildnis,
Med Flammeblomst og Lædskedrik.
Dig frelste ikke de tusind Dolke,
Der pible frem fra dine Blade,
Paa Disken kom Du, blev solgt for Spotpriis,
Du Solblomst-Frugt med Spaniens Farver!
