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.

Lethargic pools resume the whir
Baronial bees march, one by one,
Some vision of the world Cashmere
As flakes of snow stood yesterday,
Of last year's sundered tune.
The dreamy butterflies bestir,
The regiment of wood and hill
For her old lover, Don the Sun,
Feather by feather, on the plain
Fritters itself away!
Behold! Whose multitudes are these?
Revisiting the bog!
The orchis binds her feather on
The children of whose turbaned seas,
Without commander, countless, still,
In bright detachment stand.
The robins stand as thick to-day
From some old fortress on the sun
Some rainbow coming from the fair!
In murmuring platoon!
Or else a peacock's purple train,
Or what Circassian land?
I confidently see!
On fence and roof and twig.
