THE VALLEY OF UNREST

Once it          a silent dell Where the people did not dwell; They had gone          the wars, Trusting to the                          Nightly, from their azure towers, To keep              flowers, In the midst of which all day The red sun-light lazily lay. Now each visiter shall confess                   valley's restlessness. Nothing there                 Nothing save the airs that brood Over the magic solitude. Ah, by no wind are stirred those trees That                       the chill seas Around the misty              Ah, by no wind those                     That rustle through the unquiet Heaven Uneasily, from morn till even, Over the violets there that lie In myriad                           eye - Over the lilies there that wave And weep above a nameless grave! They wave: -                   fragrant tops Eternal dews come down in drops. They weep: -                            Perennial tears                gems. “Edgar Alan Poe” ACTIVITY 3 Read the tougue twister as many times as you want record and unpload to the blog.
