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.

Bring me my arrows of desire:
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
And did the Countenance Divine,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Till we have built Jerusalem,
And was Jerusalem builded here,
And did those feet in ancient time
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
And was the holy Lamb of God,
