In a lovely world of dreams and tales, it is so bright.
Andersen’s words set sail at first light.
Your stories shine an appealing beacon bright.
A girl with a match in her small, trembling hand.
Everyone reads every chapter and obtains new harmony.
A grim duckling transformed into a new beauty.
Through the hottest tallow candle.
You taught us all to be strong.
A world filled with love, brightness and glory.
In every kind heart, you sparked the flame with every tale.
A timeless gift, Cupid aimed for Psyche’s heart.
Through all the shadows and our breath, his stories took flight.
You penned a whole new world; we forever embrace you.
Everyone reads every chapter and obtains new harmony.
A grim duckling transformed into a new beauty.
Through the hottest tallow candle, you taught us all to be strong.
A world filled with love, brightness and glory.
Everyone reads every chapter and obtains new harmony.
A grim duckling transformed into a new beauty.
Through the hottest tallow candle, you taught us all to be strong.
A world filled with love, brightness and glory.
