Analysis of Spanien, hvilken Rigdom har Du

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



Spanien, hvilken Rigdom har Du
    af Naturens Deilighed;
Palmeskov og Cactus-Vildhed,
    udbrændt Ørken, Blomsterbed.
Skjønheds Skikkelser her vandre,
    malerisk er hver en Dragt,
Og om dine Kyster svulmer
    Havet i sin Storheds Magt.
Maurerfolket gav Dig Minder,
    hvori Aand og Skjønhed boer;
Ved Cervantes og Murillo
    er i Snillets Hjem Du stor;
Og din Nutid eier Ungdom,
    Munkene Du fra Dig jog;
Spaniens Blomstren forudseer jeg
    lyse vil i Fremtids Bog.
