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.

Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.
