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.

Shining with wondrous brilliancy aloft,
And sword; but, most, my spirit was possest
In silence, when the busy day was done,
How oft I've watched thee from the garden croft,
At thy strange shape and function, haply felt
But earth-bound winds could not dismember thee.
From his light-bearers, whether man or star.
Which held the frozen breath of land and sea,
Yet broke and severed as the wind grew loud —
I've seen thee soar from out some snowy cloud,
The charm of that old myth about thy belt
And flickering like a casement 'gainst the sun:
Nor shake thy frame of jewels; I have guessed
By His great presence, Who is never far
