Analysis of L. Kruse
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Naar Skibet er en Spurv i Hvirvelvind,
Naar Smerten suger Blod af Pigens Kind,
Naar Hexen kogler i sit Klippeskjul,
Og Maanen leer til Steile og til Hjul,
Mens Stormen knækker Egens stærke Grene,
Du maler os den vilde Natte-Scene.
