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.

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
The foe long since in silence slept;
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
That memory may their deed redeem,
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
And fired the shot heard round the world.
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
To die, and leave their children free,
We set today a votive stone;
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
