about

Like the other 'Lagnaippe for Lessons' Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 'Found', read by translated by Michael Hamburger and read by Don Paul, is meant to serve as an enhancement to learning by first-year students in the Modules of French, Haitian Kréyol, English and Spanish that make up the 25-weeks-long course of SCHOOL EVERYWHERE!

SCHOOL EVERYWHERE! is led by educator Marie-Marthe Balin Franck Paul in Haiti. SCHOOL EVERYWHERE! is bringing the capacities for universal literacy to Haiti through Lessons and Modules from Madame Paul's textook, Mon Livre Unique, a textbook printed in 110,000 copies for first-year students across Haiti.

lyrics

'FOUND' by Johnann Wolfgang von Goethe,
translated by Michael Hamburger

'Once in the forest
I strolled content,
To look for nothing
My sole intent.

I saw a flower,
Shaded and shy,
Shining like starlight,
Bright as an eye.

I went to pluck it;
Gently it said:
Must I be broken,
Wilt and be dead?

Then I dug it
Out of the loam
And to my garden
Carried it home,

There to replant it,
Where no wind blows.
More bright than ever
It blooms and grows.'
