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.

Lambs for whom time had not a fold.
Before their feet are cold.
Sparrows unnoticed by the Father;
Building where schoolboy dare not look

And sportsman is not bold.
Never the treasures in her nest
The thoughtful grave encloses, —
This covert have all the children
