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.

I shall not live in vain;
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or help one fainting robin
Or cool one pain,
Unto his nest again,
