Hans Christian Andersen: 'Fyen'

 


Funen

              — ’A goodly place to be’

                                                                Wilster

 

When thinking of my native isle,

All pain flies as though fable!

Its shores the proud sea waves beguile

And Denmark’s Heart’s its label.

 

Here goddess Freya did reside,

These coasts though now must miss her,

Else two such would the isle divide,

– I just have glimpsed her sister.
