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.

To thy chamber window, Sweet!
The Nightingale's complaint,
In the first sweet sleep of night,
It dies upon her heart;—
My heart beats loud and fast;—
Hath led me—who knows how?
Oh, belovèd as thou art!
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
Let thy love in kisses rain
I die! I faint! I fail!
The wandering airs they faint
Oh! press it to thine own again,
On the dark, the silent stream—
And a spirit in my feet
I arise from dreams of thee
Oh lift me from the grass!
As I must on thine,
Where it will break at last.
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;
And the stars are shining bright:
I arise from dreams of thee,
When the winds are breathing low,
On my lips and eyelids pale.
The Champak odours fail
