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.

A sacred spirit brooded there,
Still they were breath'd and plighted here,
Twas bosom'd in a kindlier air,
How saintly seem'd that board of grace,
Here utter'd, had been falsely fond,
With Jesus blessing bread above!
And broken in a place beyond!
Assign'd to rites of spousal love,
For tho' full oft the accents dear,
How fondly look'd I on the place,
Than th' outer realms of care and dole;
Whose spell-like silence lull'd the soul!
