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.

O Earth, O Earth, return!
The watery shore,
Calling the lapséd soul,
The starry pole,
The Holy Word
Rises from the slumbrous mass.
Arise from out the dewy grass!
Is given thee till the break of day.
And the morn
Turn away no more;
That walked among the ancient trees;
The starry floor,
Night is worn,
That might control
Why wilt thou turn away?
Whose ears have heard
Who present, past, and future, sees;
Hear the voice of the Bard,
And fallen, fallen light renew!
And weeping in the evening dew;
