Analysis of Paa Genfersøen
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Hvor Alperne høit deres Snekrone bær'
Og træde den saftfulde Ranke,
Jeg føler mig dog mit Danmark saa nær;
Thi Danmark boer i min Tanke.
Og Søen, den er saa blaa, saa blaa
Som Vinterhimlen i Norden!
Nei, ingen Maler tør male den saa. -
Gid Alle dog saae det paa Jorden!
