Ave Maria Gratia Plena
Oscar Wilde
1854 to 1900
Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. 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.

Sickening for love and unappeased desire
Was this His coming! I had hoped to see
Caught her brown limbs and slew her utterly:
With such glad dreams I sought this holy place,
And now with wondering eyes and heart I stand
Prayed to see God’s clear body, and the fire
Or a dread vision as when Semele
Some kneeling girl with passionless pale face,
Before this supreme mystery of Love:
Of some great God who in a rain of gold
And over both the white wings of a Dove.
A scene of wondrous glory, as was told
An angel with a lily in his hand,
Broke open bars and fell on Danae:
