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