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.

If we dream that desire of the distance above us
Should be fettered by fear of the shadows that seem,
Night sinks on the soul, and the stars as they gleam
But if hope may not lure us, if fear may not move us,
If we dream.
That we deemed of them better than terror may deem.
Thought lightens the darkness wherein the supreme
Speak menace or mourning, with tongues to reprove us
If we dream,
Pure presence of death shall assure us, and prove us
If we wake, to be nought, but to hate or to love us
