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.

But ever thy wild clamor doth increase.
Blow, autumn wind of this tempestuous night!
But keep perpetual vigil to the end.
Nor hush at all the sweet mysterious strain
Roar thyself hoarse, thy rage is all in vain,
And all my heart exultant in thy might!
Thou canst not from this garden, or this grove,
They sing, who never into sleep descend,
Drive forth the undying memories of love.
Roar through this garden, and bear down these trees;
As through thy waves the nightbirds wing their flight:
And in the darkness thou dost take no ease;
Lo! thou wast up before the morning light,
Surely to-night thy voice is as the seas,
