In the Garden
Emily Dickinson
1830 to 1886
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.

He stirred his velvet head
A bird came down the walk:
That hurried all abroad, —
He did not know I saw;
He bit an angle-worm in halves
Or butterflies, off banks of noon,
Than oars divide the ocean,
They looked like frightened beads, I thought;
Leap, splashless, as they swim.
And rowed him softer home
He glanced with rapid eyes
Too silver for a seam,
And then he drank a dew
And ate the fellow, raw.
And he unrolled his feathers
To let a beetle pass.
From a convenient grass,
I offered him a crumb,
Like one in danger; cautious,
And then hopped sidewise to the wall
