Unto my books so good to turn
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.
Easy Mode - Auto check enabled
And satisfy, obtained.
It half endears the abstinence,
And pain is missed in praise.
Far ends of tired days;
But holiday excludes the night,
Till my small library.
So spices stimulate the time
I thank these kinsmen of the shelf;
Unto my books so good to turn
And it is bells within.
As flavors cheer retarded guests
It may be wilderness without,
Far feet of failing men,
Their countenances bland
With banquetings to be,
Enamour in prospective,
