Lectura de poemas en inglés sobre la paz. IES Juan Ramón Jiménez
Good morning, everyone. Eli, Joaquin, and I are going to read some poems in celebration of the school day of non-violence and peace, which looks January 30th.
00:00:00
We hope these poems inspire you to look at peace at the day of your choice. And without further ado, I'll read mine.
00:00:10
This is a poem called The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry.
00:00:20
I chose this one because it makes a connection of peace with nature, which I think is really beautiful because it's all around us.
00:00:24
The Peace of Wild Things
00:00:33
When despair grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound, in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
00:00:35
I go and I lie down where the wood drape rests and his beauty on the water, and the great height of the fields.
00:00:45
I come into peace, I come into the peace of wild things
00:00:51
Who do not tax their lives with poor thought and grief
00:00:54
I come into the presence of still water
00:00:58
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
00:01:00
Waiting for their light
00:01:03
For a time, I rest in the grace of the world
00:01:04
And I am free
00:01:08
Thank you, Sarah.
00:01:09
That was wonderful.
00:01:16
So the poem that I'm going to be reading
00:01:19
is called O Son of Real Peace by Walt Whitman.
00:01:21
And I selected this poem because it's part of one of my favorite collections of poetry by Baldwin,
00:01:24
called Leaves of Grass.
00:01:30
So this is a poem that was written following the end of the American Civil War,
00:01:32
and it's about basically looking forward to the future and hoping that...
00:01:36
So without further ado, this is O Son of Real Peace.
00:01:42
O Son of Real Peace, O hasten and light,
00:01:46
O free and ecstatic, O what I hear, prepare me, roar before thee.
00:01:50
Oh, the sun of the world will ascend, dazzling, and take his height.
00:01:56
And you too, oh my ideal, will surely ascend.
00:02:00
Oh, so amazing and broad, up there with splendid, darting and burning.
00:02:04
Oh, vision prophetic, staggered with wave of light, with pouring glories.
00:02:10
Oh, lips of my soul, already becoming powerless.
00:02:15
Oh, ample and grand, presidentiats.
00:02:19
Now the war, the war is over.
00:02:22
New history, new heroes, I project you
00:02:24
Visions of poets, only you are the last
00:02:28
Sweep on, sweep on
00:02:31
Oh, heights too swift and dizzy yet
00:02:33
Oh, purge too luminous
00:02:36
You threaten me more than I can stand
00:02:38
I must not venture
00:02:40
The ground under my feet menaces me
00:02:41
It will not support me
00:02:44
Oh, future too immense
00:02:45
Oh, present, I return
00:02:47
While yet I may to you
00:02:49
This poem that I'm going to read is short, but it says a lot about peace being in harmony with others, regardless of race, social status, or personal circumstances.
00:02:50
The title of the poem is I Dream a World by James Langston Hughes.
00:03:12
I give a world where man, no other man will squander, where love will bless the earth, and peace its paths avoid.
00:03:19
I give a world where all will know sweet freedom's way, where greed no longer saps the soul, nor avarice blights the day.
00:03:33
A world, I dream, where black or white, whatever race you be, will share the bounties of the earth,
00:03:44
and everyone is free, where wretchedness will have its end, and joy, like a pearl, attends the needs of all mankind.
00:03:53
Of such I dream, my Lord.
00:04:05
Thank you very much for your time.
