The Lotus Flower by Hans Christian Andersen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4d3WtixKBg

In the poem Andersen establishes a contrast between the Nordic and Southern ideal of womanhood. He does so by juxtaposing the flower of the oriental lotus — a poetic representative of the Danish water lily which in Andersen’s time could be seen in almost every village pond — with the blossom of the southern pomegranate, which since antiquity has symbolised sensuality and fertility.

"Angel of Light" is a hymn from the Romantic era, composed by C.E.F. Weyse in 1837, and familiar to any Dane of almost any age.
Nevertheless, in this modern setting by contemporary composer Poul Udbye Pock-Steen the original light-spirited melody is led on a musical excursion towards the darker hidden sides of the mind ..... :)
