A Dream
Edgar Allan Poe

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.

To him whose eyes are cast
In Truth's day star?
Ah! what is not a dream by day
Turned back upon the past?
But a waking dream of life and light
What could there be more purely bright
What though that light, thro' storm and night,
That holy dream—that holy dream,
I have dreamed of joy departed—
While all the world were chiding,
On things around him with a ray
Hath left me broken-hearted.
So trembled from afar—
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam,
A lonely spirit guiding.
In visions of the dark night
