Imagination
John Davidson
1857 to 1909
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.

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