The Phantom
Thomas Hardy
1840 to 1928
Track 1
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.

Ah; 'tis but her phantom
Now, as then, I see her
Moving at the pane;
Change dissolves the landscapes,
Foremost in my vision
That was once her casement,
Everywhere goes she;
Who can say thee nay ?
Beckoned, "Here am I!
Shining from within there
She abides with me.
And the taper nigh,
Borne within my brain! —
Never once do I, Dear,
Shape so sweet and shy, Dear,
Wish thy ghost away.
