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.

We walked that ancient thoroughfare,
The Eagle, as they pace again
Contrast its days of Now and Then,
And delve, and measure, and compare;
Guiding my infant steps, as when
Helmeted legionnaires, who proudly rear
A mother's form upon my ken,
But no tall brass-helmeted legionnaire
Visioning on the vacant air
The Roman Road runs straight and bare
The Roman Road.
Across the heath. And thoughtful men
The Roman Road.
Haunts it for me. Uprises there
As the pale parting-line in hair
