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.

The urging formless waves beyond control
The strange averted spectre of my soul
From the immense Unknown: beneath him roll
Beside the dim internal flood that brings
Is sitting undivulged, angelic, whole,
And darkened by the vague foreshadowings
β€”I am with God who holds His purpose still
As heretofore; yea, for He hath not stirred.
I close my eyes and see the inward things:
To lure my soul from all it waiteth for:
Mysterious thought or dreams or murmurings,
And maketh and remaketh evermore;
Too weak was that my life, too poor each word
I am with God and waiting for His will.
