Occasional verse and dedications
Bartol Kašić Primary School, Zagreb
Draga djeco, dragi đaci,škole KAŠIĆA prvaci.Da vam budu ljepši sati,a dosada da se skrati,da nestane vaših briga,evo vama moja knjiga,pa ju lijepo pročitajte,veselja si srcu dajte.U čitanju nek' vam knjigapruži radost i veselje,stvarajući ovu knjiguto su bile moje želje.Bili sretni i veselii snivali divne snove,od sveg srca vama želimali zeko knjige ove.Svi u školi sretni bilii petice ostvarili.Ne bilo vam nikad krivo,to vam želi pjesnik Ivo.
Dearest children, pupils dear,KAŠIĆ school's first graders here:so your hours may brighter run,and your boredom soon be done,so your worries fly away,here's my book for you today;read it nicely, read it through,give your hearts some gladness too.As you read it, day by day,let it bring you joy and content;when I made it, that was justwhat I wished for, what I meant.May you all be glad and bright,may sweet dreams upon you fall;wishes you with heart's delightthis book's little bunny small.May you all do well at schooland get straight A's, as a rule!Never sorry, never blue:Poet Ivo wishes you.
