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.

Come with the starry beams, my love,
I will not ask a dearer bliss;
And Psyche's lamp shall darkling be,
I will not ask a dearer bliss;
Oh, come to me in dreams, my love!
Thou dost renew thy vows to me.
But gentle sleep shall veil my sight,
Then come to me in dreams, my love,
And woke to find her hopes betrayed.
Till she disturbed the sacred spell,
Come with the starry beams, my love,
Love visited a Grecian maid,
When, in the visions of the night,
Twas thus, as ancient fables tell,
And press mine eyelids with thy kiss
And press mine eyelids with thy kiss.
