Andersen's Witnesses Jonas Collin, who spoke of the unhappiness and the hard-working educational methods, and about Meisling deroute, there was a change.

The poem 'The dying child' appeared in H.C. Andersen's birthday in Elsinore while in the period 1826-27 he went to the city's Latin School. H.C. Andersen called Helsingoer for Small Copenhagen , and it was him who, after seeing the idyll of gurus, exclaimed: 'I think it's most beautiful in Denmark'.
H.C. Andersen had repeatedly worked on literary writings and contributed to reading, among others. For Commander Captain Peter Frederik Wulff at Amalienborg.
This happened, although in the application to the king of H.C. Andersen's education stated that there was a justified hope that the young H.C. Andersen through scientific formation will get away from the literary weighing and probably become a useful citizen.
H.C. Andersen went his own way and did not focus on this and his literary works and poems evolved in secret.
Perhaps Meisling's hard methods and pressures have counteracted H.C. Andersen, expressed in his literary works during the school period and afterwards.

The most famous poem from the period is 'The Dying Child' .
Mother, I'm tired, now I want to sleep. Let me by your heart sleep in. If you do not, you must promise me first. For your tears burn on my cheek. Here is cold and the storm is threatening. But in dreams, it's all so beautiful. And the cute angel kids I'm watching. When I have the tired eye smell.
Mother, do you see the angel by my side? Do you hear that delicious music? See, he has two wings beautiful white. Those he surely received from our Lord. Green and Yellow and Red For the Eye Floats. It's the Flower Angels pouring out !. I also get wings while I live. Or, Mother, do I get when I die?
Why do you push my hands? Why do you put your kind to me ?. It is wet, and yet as fire it burns. Mother, I will always be yours !. But then you should no longer be sad. If you cry, I'll cry with you. Oh, I'm so tired! - the eye must close -. - Mother - see! now the angel kisses me!
