Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. 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.

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