The tide rises, the tide falls
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1807 to 1882
Track 1
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.

The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The tide rises, the tide falls,
But the sea in the darkness calls and calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
Returns the traveller to the shore,
The day returns, but nevermore
Efface the footprints in the sands,
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
