Analysis of Schack-Staffeldt
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
Hvad Blomsten drømmer mangen Sommernat,
Hvad Vinden hvidsker i det grønne Krat,
Mens Morgenskyer Engene bedugge,
Fortalte Alferne Dig ved din Vugge,
Og hvad Du hørte kunde Du ei glemme,
Thi lød din Sang for os, som Alfers Stemme.
