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.

Where rhythmic tides flow for no miser's sake
But the wide sea from men is wholly freed;
All these are equal in the equal light—
The sea thrift dwelling on her spray-swept height,
Free to all souls the hidden beauty calls,
All waters mirror the one Infinite.
The gliding river and the stream that brawls
But all things give themselves, yet none may take.
Freely the great waves rise and storm and break,
And none hath profit of the brown sea-weed,
Down the sharp cliffs with constant breaks and falls—
The lofty rose, the low-grown aconite,
Nor softlier go for any landlord's need,
God made a garden, it was men built walls;
