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.

A faint display of Heaven!
While others seek the cause to prove,
Where Beauty owns celestial grace,
That bids thy beauties rise.
Blest sign of firm unchanging love!
My soul, content with humbler views,
Illumes the eastern skies;
Well pleased admires thy varied hues,
And see the messenger of peace
Thy beauteous form, and wondering gaze
And can with joy behold
The hand that paints each glowing line;
Of purple, green, and gold.
Enraptured on thy mingled rays
Enough for me to deem divine
To think that thou art given
Soft falls the shower, the thunders cease!
A transient gleam of that bright place
