The Rainy Day
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1807 to 1882
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.

Thy fate is the common fate of all,
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary
Some days must be dark and dreary.
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
Into each life some rain must fall,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the day is dark and dreary.
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
And the days are dark and dreary.
