If it should rain
Edna St. Vincent Millay

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.

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