WORLD DAY OF POETRY

Songs Of Innocence (1789)

Little Lamb who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Gave thee life & bid thee feed

By the stream & o'er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing, wooly, bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice

Making all the vales rejoice?

Little Lamb who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

 

Little Lamb I'll tell thee,

Little Lamb I'll tell thee:

He is called by thy name,

For he calls himself a Lamb:

He is meek & he is mild;

He became a little child:

I a child & thou a lamb,

We are called by his name.

Little Lamb God bless thee.

Little Lamb God bless thee.

The Lamb, by William Blake (1757-1827)

The professional life of José Nunes Liberato and Paula Soares

On February, 14 my class was invited to the Old Library to attend a presentation by the economist José Nunes Liberato and the lawyer Paula Soares.The two guests came to our school to talk about their present work and their professional careers.

The first one that took the floor was José Nunes Liberato. He told us he was very glad to be in our school because he was also a student here more than forty years ago. He informed us about some of the teachers that had a particular influence in his life at that time and told us about his journey since the time he left Lyceu de Camões until his current work as Head of the Civil House of the President of the Republic. Before his present functions he was in the European Parliament, in the Government and had other important jobs.

The second guest, Paula Soares, was not a student in Lyceu de Camões. She talked about her work as a lawyer and told us some stories about particular cases she has had.After their presentations, the two guests answered the questions made by the students.

These presentations were part of the so-called “Week of the Professions” where some well-known people from the portuguese society were invited to come to our school to talk about their professions.
