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.

In rainfall at morning and dewfall at night.
The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
Of bird-song at morning and star-shine at night.
Of green days in forests and blue days at sea.
Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.
I will make my kitchen, and you shall keep your room,
And you shall wash your linen and keep your body white
I will make you brooches and toys for your delight
That only I remember, that only you admire,
I will make a palace fit for you and me
And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
Where white flows the river and bright blows the broom,
