In Flanders Fields
John McCrae
1872 to 1918
Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. 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.

The torch; be yours to hold it high.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
Between the crosses, row on row,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
In Flanders fields.
To you from failing hands we throw
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
If ye break faith with us who die
That mark our place; and in the sky
