Analysis of Til den lille Marie
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Du er vel ikke et Aar endnu,
Men vi er forlovede, jeg og Du,
Du yndige Barn, halvt Engel endnu!
Det bliver jeg snart, men Menneske Du,
Faaer Huus og Familie, Lykkens Kaar;
Siig da, og tag frem her Bogen, Du faaer:
„Vi To var forloved', jeg var knap et Aar."
