Brahma
Ralph Waldo Emerson

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.

I am the doubter and the doubt,
Far or forgot to me is near;
Find me, and turn thy back on heaven.
If the red slayer think he slays,
Shadow and sunlight are the same;
And I the hymn the Brahmin sings.
When me they fly, I am the wings;
The vanished gods to me appear;
The strong gods pine for my abode,
They know not well the subtle ways
But thou, meek lover of the good!
They reckon ill who leave me out;
I keep, and pass, and turn again.
And one to me are shame and fame.
Or if the slain think he is slain,
And pine in vain the sacred Seven;
