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.

Yonder a maid and her wight
Ere their story die.
Half asleep as they stalk.
Yet this will go onward the same

War's annals will fade into night
Only thin smoke without flame
In a slow silent walk,
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
