Holy Thursday
William Blake
1757 to 1827

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.

Now like a mighty wind they raise to heaven the voice of song,
Seated in companies they sit, with radiance all their own.
The hum of multitudes was there, but multitudes of lambs,
Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door.
O what a multitude they seemed, these flowers of London town!
Till into the high dome of Paul's they like Thames waters flow.
From Songs of Innocence
The children walking two and two, in red, and blue, and green:
Thousands of little boys and girls raising their innocent hands.
Twas on a holy Thursday, their innocent faces clean,
Or like harmonious thunderings the seats of heaven among:
Grey-headed beadles walked before, with wands as white as snow,
Beneath them sit the aged men, wise guardians of the poor.
