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.

With that breast and bearing,
Rhythmed and poised and free
Hears among the thrushes
Quiet as the days
Walking on the sea;
Frailer than a moth's wing
In new shapes of art;
When they lift and stir —
Of the waiting hills,
To the touch that mars;
Seeking for her freedom
What do men give thanks for?
And the autumn haze;
Dearer than the sun.
In the woods of June;
Such a hand as Beauty
Such a head the victors
As the strong pure sea-wind
One sweet lyric woman—
Uses with full heart,
Than the early moon
Wakes in them and thrills;
Delicate as grasses
Lovelier than morning,
I give thanks for one,
As superb, untrammeled,
Soft as rain in April,
Than the light of stars,
Must have praised and known,
Nike's very own—
I give thanks for her.
Of the purple asters
With a soul more subtle
When the gracious twilight
Wise with all the silence
With a voice more tender
