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.

Home to thy heart.
Of river, sail the golden light—
Down thy last living reach
Enter the sun's heart—even teach
The God of love, let him learn how!
Love for defiance back
On him who smote!
And brim, brim o'er
With love; and ruby-dye thy track
Thrill, thrill, O silver throat!
O silver trumpet, pour
Struck, struck! A golden dart
O wondrous-gifted Pain, teach Thou
O silver-throated Swan
Clean through thy breast has gone
