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.

Or fill these void veins full again with youth
All death will he annul, all tears assuage?
Shall Life renew these bodies?  Of a truth
After the blast of lightning from the east,
And wash with an immortal water age?
Nor my titanic tears the seas be dried."
When I do ask white Age, he saith not so,—
And from the bronze west long retreat is blown,
And when I hearken to the Earth she saith
"My fiery heart sinks aching.  It is death.
"My head hangs weighed with snow."
The flourish of loud clouds, the Chariot throne,
After the drums of time have rolled and ceased
Mine ancient scars shall not be glorified
