Track 1
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.

I can see it all, it is whole like the twilight,
It is large, so large, I could not see it before
All the troubles and anxieties and pain
That will last for ever.
The little river twittering in the twilight,
Troubles, anxieties and pains.
What else—it is perfect enough,
Because of the little lights and flickers and interruptions,
You and I,
You are the wish, and I the fulfilment,
Only the twilight now, and the soft "Sh!" of the river
What more——?
You are the call and I am the answer,
Strange, how we suffer in spite of this!
And everything shut up and gone to sleep,
You are the night, and I the day.
The wan, wondering look of the pale sky,
This is almost bliss.
It is perfectly complete,
And at last I know my love for you is here,
Gone under the twilight.
