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.

He bolts the door,
Far safer, of a midnight meeting
Than an interior confronting
O'erlooking a superior spectre
That whiter host.
Assassin, hid in our apartment,
Ourself, behind ourself concealed,
The prudent carries a revolver,
Should startle most;
The stones achase,
In lonesome place.
Be horror's least.
Material place.
Far safer through an Abbey gallop,
One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
The brain has corridors surpassing
More near.
One need not be a house;
Than, moonless, one's own self encounter
External ghost,
