YEATS FOR PEACE


YEATS FOR PEACE(INTEGRATING SKILLS)

 

( Dedicated to Inma , “meine Kollegen”, who inspired  this activity)

Listen to the poem read by a kid

An Irish Airman Foresees His Death

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

By Keats



An Irish Airman Foresees His Death

 Those that I fight I do not hate,
I know that I shall meet my fate
In balance with this life, this death.

No likely end could bring them loss
Somewhere among the clouds above;
A waste of breath the years behind
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,

Drove to this tumult in the clouds;

Those that I guard I do not love;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,

Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
A lonely impulse of delight
Or leave them happier than before.

Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
