High Flight
John Gillespie Magee Jr.
1922 to 1941
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.

I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
of sun-split clouds, - and done a hundred things
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew -
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
