Analysis of Man siger, at i Spanien Qvinden

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



Man siger, at i Spanien Qvinden
Har krigerisk Mandsmod og Aand;
Man siger, at Spanierinden
Har en Dolk ved sit Strømpebaand;
Man siger, — man siger saa Meget;
Tro ikke hver snaksom Tourist:
Et Barnesind, let og bevæget,
Har Spanierinden forvist,
Der er en Sladdren, en Latter,
Du seirende hæver din Haand, -
Ja, da har Spaniens Datter
En Dolk ved sit Strømpebaand.
