Track 1
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.

From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the thunder, and the storm—
From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
As it pass’d me flying by—
My sorrow—I could not awaken
The mystery which binds me still—
From the lightning in the sky
My passions from a common spring—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
In its autumn tint of gold—
My heart to joy at the same tone—
From the same source I have not taken
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
From the red cliff of the mountain—
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
As others saw—I could not bring
And the cloud that took the form
Of a demon in my view—
