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.

Looms but the Horror of the shade,
Out of the night that covers me,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
And yet the menace of the years
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
How charged with punishments the scroll,
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I thank whatever gods may be
It matters not how strait the gate,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
For my unconquerable soul.
