Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. 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.

A vastness, as a neighbor, came, —
A wisdom without face or name,
With hat in hand, polite and new,
And workmen finished, one by one,
A peace, as hemispheres at home, —
  To stay as if, or go.
The twilight stood as strangers do
The cricket sang,
  Their seam the day upon.
And set the sun,
The low grass loaded with the dew,
  And so the night became.
