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 seeking her I have to come to thy door.
and I lift my eager eyes to thy face.
no vision of a face seen through tears.
Let me for once feel
In desperate hope I go and search for her
from which nothing can vanish --
I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky
Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean,
in all the corners of my room; I find her not.
no hope, no happiness,
that lost sweet touch in the allness of the universe.
plunge it into the deepest fullness.
I have come to the brink of eternity
But infinite is thy mansion, my lord,
can never be regained.
My house is small and what once has gone from it
