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.

The ruddy sentence of its mouth
Its flame can mingle north and south;
The form and mould of every star,
There is a dish to hold the sea,
Like jewels in a jasper cup.
A voice to wake the dead and done!
The mart of power, the fount of will,
The mood of men, the world's career.
The key of all the things that are,
The source and bound of good and ill,
(From "New Year's Eve")
Imagination, new and strange
Can shift the poles and lightly change
That minister of ministers,
In every age, can turn the year;
A brazier to contain the sun,
A compass for the galaxy,
Its accent with the thunder strive;
The undiscovered Universe,
Imagination, gathers up
Can make the ancient dead alive.
