Analysis of Ved Husets Muur stod en Hæk af Geranier
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Ved Husets Muur stod en Hæk af Geranier,
Der sad hun paa Trappens Marmorsteen,
Saa ung, saa deilig, hun solgte Kastanier,
Sad med Blomst i Haaret og med bare Been.
Hun saae med to Livsens Øine paa En,
Var man ei en Iismand, strax blev man en Spanier.
