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.

What immortal hand or eye,
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Did he smile his work to see?
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
When the stars threw down their spears
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What immortal hand or eye,
In what furnace was thy brain?
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
What the anvil? what dread grasp.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
In the forests of the night;
And what shoulder, & what art,
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And when thy heart began to beat.
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain,
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
