If it should rain
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 to 1950
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.

From shingles into gutters fall . . .
There’s nothing I can do tonight.
And know of what concerns me, all:
Tomorrow, it may be, I might
Till they are dried—lest I should spread
To myths and legends—through the beans
I may not walk—my temper leans
Diseases they have never had.
If it should rain—(the sneezy moon
To close the windows anywhere.
Now I can sleep, I need not wait
I hear the rain: it comes down straight.
The garden will be wet till noon—
Do things to set the whole world right.
Said: Rain)—then I shall hear it soon
