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.

Dragging the corn by her golden hair,
Excited, while they sucked;
While every bird enjoyed his song,
Without one thought of harm or wrong —
And calves and lambs had tottering knees,
I turned my head and saw the wind,
That beamed where'er they looked;
While joy gave clouds the light of stars,
Not far from where I stood,
Into a dark and lonely wood.
