NEWS FROM CLASS 4A - ROMANIA

This year, on 15th January we celebrated the 159th anniversary of the birth of our national poet, Mihai Eminescu. We had some interesting activities under the guidance of our teacher. We talked about the poet’s life, we recited some of his poems and we sang songs written on Eminescu’s lyrics. In the end we watched films with glimpses of his life in the school library.
Our talented “little painter”, Maria Parvanescu , illustrated the following poem “Drowsy Birds”, in watercolours.

Drowsy Birds
Drowsy birds at even gliding,
Round about their nests alight,
In among the branches hiding...
Dear, good night!

Silence through the forest creeping,
Lullaby the river sighs;
In the garden flowers sleeping...
Shut your eyes!

Glides the swan among the rushes
To its rest where moonlight gleams,
And the angels' whisper hushes...
Peaceful dreams!

O'er the sky stars without number,
On the earth a silver light;
All is harmony and slumber...
Dear, good night!
