Their faces shone under some radiance
Dylan Thomas

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.

(And skeletons had sap). One minute
That neighboured them to wells of warmth,
Before the moon shifted and the sap ran out,
She, in her cheap frock, saying some cheap thing,
Hung pointed in the wind,
Their faces shone under some radiance
That turned the empty kisses into meaning,
The island of such penny love
And he replying,
Into a costly country, the graves
Of mingled moonlight and lamplight
Not knowing radiance came and passed.
The suicides parade again, now ripe for dying.
Their faces shone; the midnight rain
