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.

The rime was on the spray,
And starlight lit my lonesomeness
When I set out for Lyonnesse,
A hundred miles away,
While I should sojourn there
All marked with mute surmise
With magic in my eyes,
What would bechance at Lyonnesse
When I set out for Lyonnesse
Nor did the wisest wizard guess
What would bechance at Lyonnesse
While I should sojourn there.
A hundred miles away.
When I came back from Lyonnesse
When I came back from Lyonnesse
No prophet durst declare,
With magic in my eyes!
My radiance rare and fathomless,
