Analysis of Med en Deel Sparebøsser



Hver dag læg hen som Hjertets Tavlepenge
En lille Skilling eller to,
Og du skal see, om ikke meget længe
Vil Skillingen til Daler groe.
Og Du vil, alvorsfuld og glad tillige,
Forstaae, hvad Rigdom siger nu:
Imens Soldaten Skjærmer Soldaten Danmarks Rige,
Hans Børn og Hustru skjærmer Du!
