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 think that thou art given
Enraptured on thy mingled rays
Blest sign of firm unchanging love!
While others seek the cause to prove,
Where Beauty owns celestial grace,
Thy beauteous form, and wondering gaze
That bids thy beauties rise.
And see the messenger of peace
Illumes the eastern skies;
A faint display of Heaven!
Soft falls the shower, the thunders cease!
Well pleased admires thy varied hues,
And can with joy behold
Of purple, green, and gold.
Enough for me to deem divine
The hand that paints each glowing line;
A transient gleam of that bright place
My soul, content with humbler views,
