Portuguese poem

Hello!
We are portuguese pupils from São Mateus School and we want to declaim you a portuguese poem.
Miguel Torga is the author.
We hope you like it!



This is the poem' idea:

Ancient history
 
Once upon a time there in Judea a king.
Ugly beast, moreover:
A man without a donkey halter
And two large braids.
We looked, looked and saw
What that figure had not
Eyes of those who love children.

And indeed, this was the case.
Because one day,
The evil,
Only by having the power of who is king
Why not take heart,
Just like that,
Has killed as many as were small
In cities and villages of the nation.

But, by chance or miracle happened
That was a donkey through the sand,
fled
Those hands a little one blood
That the sun of life alive solicitous;
And it was enough
This span of dream
To fill this world with joy;
To grow, to be God;
And get the hell of it braids,
Just because he did not like children.

Dear Portuguese Friends! It is our pleasure to listen to your language. Bety, I thank you very much for the link to the biography of Miguel Torga. So we better understand what he wrote. The Portuguese language is very soft and melodious. Tomorrow I will present your film to children. And I will write more comments ...
