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.

Milk-white with blossomed May,
Castara's followed Spring.
Nay, no more roses bring.
For, O our poppies all are white —
Bring roses for Castara's breast —
And that's Castara's way.
Linden and birch meet overhead:
Since, taking from our eyes the light,
Be thy skies blue though ours are gray
O well befall thee, happy way —
And life's a weary thing,
And all our roses dead.
Castara's followed Spring.
Fair fall thy poppies red!
I know a path with poppies red,
Let be the rose where she blooms best
