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.

Pure as angel thoughts thy dreams!
Thine all the bliss and mine the pain!
Or if, where Pleasure's wing hath glided,
Fondly the Persian tracks its ray.
Round thy steps where'er they stray;
May every joy this bright world numbers
Calm be thy sleep as infant's slumbers!
There ever must some pang remain,
By worship to its creature be,
As, even when clouds his idol cover,
Still be thy lot with me divided,—
Day and night my thoughts shall hover
If this be wrong, if Heaven offended
Half breathed to Heaven and half to thee.
Then let my vows to both be blended,
Shed o'er thee their mingled beams!
