To a Deaf and Dumb Little Girl
Hartley Coleridge

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.

Doom'd to behold the universal dance,
And never hear the music which expounds
What can she know of beauty or sublime?
The solemn step, coy slide, the merry bounds.
The vague, mute language of the countenance.
Like a loose island on the wide expanse,
God must be with her in her solitude!
Herself her all, she lives in privacy;
Unconscious floating on the fickle sea,
And yet methinks she looks so calm and good,
Her waking life as lonely as a trance,
Concentrated in her solitary seeing—
In vain for her I smooth my antic rhyme;
She cannot hear it. All her little being
