Analysis of Med en Brystnaal i Form af en Flue

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



Fluer i Hovedet, ja, det er slemt!
Fluer om Hjertet er værre!
Vogt Dig, man bliver saa underligt stemt,
Vogt Dig, min unge Herre!
Amor som Flue Dig giver din Rest,
Derfor knap sammen Kjole og Vest!
