Too Much
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.

This new circumference, have blamed
So, Saviour, crucify.
Endear the shore beyond.
T is thirsting vitalizes wine, —
Of life's penurious round;
Too rescued; fear too dim to me
And heaven not enough for me;
Defeat whets victory, they say;
T is beggars banquets best define;
Too lifted for the scant degree
Recited fluent here.
Without the fear to justify, —
The homelier time behind.
I knew so perfect yesterday, —
That I could spell the prayer
I should have been too glad, I see,
The palm without the Calvary;
I should have been too saved, I see,
My little circuit would have shamed
Faith faints to understand.
The reefs in old Gethsemane
I should have had the joy
That scalding one, "Sabachthani,
Earth would have been too much, I see,
