1. As Lara glimlag (a) Repetition (herhaling) of the
title, hence (dus) showing the
importance (belangrikheid) of
the girl when she smiles
(glimlag).
2. word my skooltas This is the first thing that
onverwags lig, (b) happens (gebeur) when Lara
smiles; therefore (dus) the
mere fact (feit) of her smiling,
leads to (lei tot) the speaker
feeling something positive: his
heavy (swaar) school bag is
not so heavy any longer.
The setting (ruimte) of the
poem is indicated (aangedui)
by the use (gebruik) of the
word “skooltas”, as this reveals
(wys) to the reader that the
speaker’s contact (kontak)
with Lara is mostly (meestal)
school-bound
(skoolgebonde).

, 3. wiskunde eensklaps maklik This is the second thing that
(c) happens when Lara smiles
and the positive effect (effek)
it has on the speaker: all of a
sudden (eensklaps) a difficult
(moeilik) subject (vak),
namely (naamlik) math
(wiskunde), has now become
easier (makliker) to the
speaker.
“wiskunde” is another (nog)
reference (verwysing) to the
school setting (skoolruimte).
“eensklaps” is an odd
(vreemde) word to use
(gebruik) as it is the synonym
(sinoniem) for the more
commonly (algemene) used
“skielik”.
4. en verstaan ek daai This is the third thing that
Shakespeare-gedig. (b) happens when Lara smiles: he
now even understands
(verstaan) the Shakespeare
poem in the English class.
Lines 2 and 4 rhyme with “lig”
and “-gedig”.
“Shakespeare-gedig” is
another reference (verwysing)
to the school setting
(skoolruimte).
The end (einde) of the first
sentence.
5. As Lara glimlag Second (tweede) repetition
(herhaling) of the title.
6. verdwyn die grys ou Yet another (nog) positive
skoolgebou. effect of Lara’s smile: the old,
grey school building
disappears (verdywn), thus
number four.
The building might (mag) also
not literally (letterlik) be grey
