Analysis of I dette Jordlivs Forgjængelighed
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
I dette Jordlivs Forgjængelighed
Der voxer en Urt: Forfængelighed!
Den groer selv hos Barnet, der gaaer i Skole,
Ja, selv i hver Fold af en Præstekjole,
Ja, hvor et Menneske gik eller sad,
Der voxer den op som et Veibredblad.
