Sweet and low, sweet and low
Alfred Lord Tennyson
1809 to 1892
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.

Wind of the western sea!
Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
Low, low, breathe and blow,
Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Father will come to his babe in the nest,
While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Over the rolling waters go,
Father will come to thee soon;
Blow him again to me;
Wind of the western sea,
Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.
Under the silver moon:
Silver sails all out of the west
Come from the dying moon, and blow,
Father will come to thee soon;
