John Gillespie Magee Jr.

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.

Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
of sun-split clouds, - and done a hundred things
