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 working world, I thrust my sheaths away.
I cast aside my veil and bid it be,
I am a chrysoberyl, and the night
I that was dark and dull am burning bright;
Beacons me to the place of heart's desire.
Men say there is a stone shines green alway
I am a chrysoberyl, and 'tis night.
Is here, and I am changed. The changeless light
I and my heart are like that changing stone.
Has touched me and transfigured; my own fire
Through the long hours of the indifferent day,
All day I hide myself in lucent green.
But blazes scarlet when the night draws on:
All the long hours of the indifferent day:
And let Love's scarlet flood transfigure me.
But when the moon makes beautiful and clean
