Summer's Armies
Emily Dickinson
1830 to 1886
Track 1
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.

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