Love's Trappist
G. K. Chesterton
1874 to 1936
Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Where laurels wither and the daisies grow.
Where scrolls are torn and on a wild wind go,
Cry to my brethren, though the world be old,
O world, old world, the best hath ne'er been told!
Where tablets stand wiped naked for a token,
Goeth alone and comes not back again.
I am Love's Trappist and you ask in vain,
Lo: I too join the brotherhood of silence,
For man through Love's gate, even as through Death's gate,
There is a place where lute and lyre are broken,
Prophets and sages, questioners and doubters,
Yet here I pause, look back across the threshold.
