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.

More changeful than the Moon,
There a brief while the globe of splendor sits
Abrupt, as Spirits vanish, he is sunk!
And deep the cavern of the fountain mutters.
Upon the mountain’s edge with light touch resting,
Or cone or mow of fire: till sinking slowly
As motionless as stands the ancient trunk!
To wane fantastic his great orb submits,
And seems a creature of the earth; but soon
Even to a star at length he lessens wholly.
But every leaf through all the forest flutters,
The boughs, the sprays have stood
A soul-like breeze possesses all the wood.
