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.

Profoundly still the twilight air,
A cold, white waste of snow-drifts lies,
A stag bends down to drink the stream.
Lifeless the landscape; so we deem
Hurriedly through its ferny dells.
Silently lights the unclouded skies.
Till like a phantom gliding near
Speak of the North! A lonely moor
And one star, large and soft and lone,
Silent and dark and tractless swells,
And far away a mountain zone,
The waves of some wild streamlet pour
