Analysis of Med en Jagtkniv

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



Det dundrer under Hestens Hov
Gjennem den grønne, duftende Skov.
Hundene halse, Hjorten sig reiser,
Flygter og kneiser.
Skuddet den rammer; Jæger, spring til,
Stød den med Kniven! Vi juble vil:
Trara! Trara! Joachim, trara!
