by Hans Christian Andersen (1805 - 1875)
Min Tanke er et mægtigt Fjeld
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Min Tanke er et mægtigt Fjeld, Der over Himlene gaar; Mit Hjerte er et Hav saa dybt, Hvor Bølge mod Bølge slaar. Og Fjeldet løfter dit Billed Højt mod Himlens Blaa. Men selv Du lever i Hjertet, Hvor dybe Brændinger gaa.
