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.

Assist me to prepare the sounding lyre.
Like her I sing, soft, sensible, and fair,
Look then on Clarke, and see them all unite :
Rest here, my muse, nor soar above thy sphere—
A beauteous pattern to the always-right.

Seraphic virgins of the tuneful choir,
Can beauty, virtue, sense, demand the song?
Let the smooth numbers warble in the air.
Ye prudes, coquettes, and all the misled throng,
