Ariel's Song
William Shakespeare

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.

Those are pearls that were his eyes:
But doth suffer a sea-change
The strain of strutting chanticleer
Cry, Cock-a-diddle-dow.
Bow-wow.
Foot it featly here and there;
Bow-wow.
The wild waves whist,
Hark! now I hear them - Ding-dong, bell.
Nothing of him that doth fade,
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Curtsied when you have, and kiss'd
Ding-dong.
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Come unto these yellow sands,
Hark, hark!
Hark, hark! I hear
The watch-dogs bark.
Into something rich and strange.
And then take hands:
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
Of his bones are coral made;
