Arrow and the Song, The by Henry Wadsworth LongfellowThe Arrow and the SongI shot an arrow into the air,It fell to earth, I knew not where;For, so swiftly it flew, the sightCould not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air,It fell to earth, I knew not where;For who has sight so keen and strong,That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oakI found the arrow, still unbroke;And the song, from beginning to end,I found again in the heart of a friend.Robert Burns - My HeartMy heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer,A-chasing the wild deer and following the roe,My hearts's in the Highlands, wherever I go.Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,The birthplace of valour, the country of worth!Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow,Farewell to the straths and green valleys below,Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,Farewell to the torrents and long-pouring floods!My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer,A-chasing the wild deer and following the roe,My hearts's in the Highlands, wherever I go.Команды зачитывают стихи The winner of today’s contest is Team # (1,2)They are awarded with the Certificate of Merit Certificate of MeritAwarded to students of grade 8 ffor taking part in School Quiz Contest “Around Britain in 45 minutes ”March 2014 Certificate of MeritAwarded to students of grade 8 bfor taking part in School Quiz Contest “Around Britain in 45 minutes ”March 2014
