The Bat
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.

Elate philosopher!
Empowered with what malevolence
Or none perceptible.
Beneficent, believe me,
Deputed from what firmament
Of what astute abode,
His eccentricities.
Auspiciously withheld.
An arc alike inscrutable, —
The bat is dun with wrinkled wings
And not a song pervades his lips,
Describing in the air
Like fallow article,
His small umbrella, quaintly halved,
To his adroit Creator
Ascribe no less the praise;
