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.

Gone under the twilight.
Only the twilight now, and the soft "Sh!" of the river
What else—it is perfect enough,
You are the wish, and I the fulfilment,
And everything shut up and gone to sleep,
All the troubles and anxieties and pain
Troubles, anxieties and pains.
That will last for ever.
The little river twittering in the twilight,
The wan, wondering look of the pale sky,
It is large, so large, I could not see it before
And at last I know my love for you is here,
Strange, how we suffer in spite of this!
It is perfectly complete,
You and I,
I can see it all, it is whole like the twilight,
This is almost bliss.
Because of the little lights and flickers and interruptions,
You are the call and I am the answer,
You are the night, and I the day.
What more——?
