Analysis of Rückerts 'Gedichte'

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



Rückert som en Fugl sig svinger
Gjennem Sprogets Region;
Alting dandser, Alting klinger,
Hvert et Bogstav faaer Motion,
Digterkortet bliver blandet,
Han er næsten meer, end klog,
Ligesom en Fisk i Vandet
Er han i det tydske Sprog.
