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.

Take wings and change to butterflies
Shall hear his music night and day,
And thou shalt say, each time I go—
Give me the chance, and I will make
Thy cold, clear heart—the quiet pool
I'll make my Soul thy shepherd soon,
Thy thoughts of me, like worms this day,
The flags of glory on each mast.
Where all my thoughts are anchored fast;
With all thy thoughts my grateful flock;
I'll make thy happy heart my port,
Thy meditations, full of praise,
How long, my Love, ere thou'lt come back?
And in no seasons shall it fail.
That never heard Love's nightingale—
That in the golden light shall play;
