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.

Silent and chaste she steals along,
Graceful and useful all she does,
Intent upon her destin'd course;
Apt emblem of a virtuous maid—
And heav'n reflected in her face.
Sweet stream that winds through yonder glade,
Blessing and blest where'er she goes,
Far from the world's gay busy throng,
With gentle, yet prevailing, force,
Pure-bosom'd as that wat'ry glass,
