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.

White-wing'd enclose the altar,
Before its silent light:
In the dusk-grown heart of the valley
So silence lies on the valley
Breathlessly still.
But sometimes a flight
As on a white wall
Of breathless words of prayer
No bird doth call:
No wind stirs in the branches;
No rapt priest bends in awe
A breathless lizard is still,
An altar rises white:
In the secret Valley of Silence
Eddies of prayer.
No breath doth fall;
