Track 1
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.

Where are the Poets, unto whom belong
An admiral sailing the high seas of thought,
The Olympian heights; whose singing shafts were sent
Whose rushing keels made music as they went
But with the utmost tension of the thong?
With all sail set, and steady winds and strong?
Where are the stately argosies of song,
Fearless and first and steering with his fleet
Straight to the mark, and not from bows half bent,
Sailing in search of some new continent,
In schools, some graduate of the field or street,
Perhaps there lives some dreamy boy, untaught
Who shall become a master of the art,
For lands not yet laid down in any chart.
