The Bat
Emily Dickinson
1830 to 1886
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.

An arc alike inscrutable, —
The bat is dun with wrinkled wings
Beneficent, believe me,
And not a song pervades his lips,
Describing in the air
His small umbrella, quaintly halved,
Of what astute abode,
Auspiciously withheld.
Empowered with what malevolence
Or none perceptible.
Like fallow article,
Deputed from what firmament
To his adroit Creator
His eccentricities.
Elate philosopher!
Ascribe no less the praise;
