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.

Those flowers made of light!
The fever on my brow!
But now 'tis little joy
The little window where the sun
To swallows on the wing;
The fir trees dark and high;
The laburnum on his birthday,—
It was a childish ignorance,
Nor brought too long a day,
He never came a wink too soon,
And summer pools could hardly cool
And thought the air must rush as fresh
The vi'lets, and the lily-cups,
The house where I was born,
The roses, red and white,
I remember, I remember,
I remember, I remember,
And where my brother set
The lilacs where the robin built,
Where I was used to swing,
To know I'm farther off from heav'n
My spirit flew in feathers then,
Were close against the sky:
I remember, I remember,
Came peeping in at morn;
That is so heavy now,
But now, I often wish the night
I remember, I remember,
Had borne my breath away!
I used to think their slender tops
Than when I was a boy.
The tree is living yet!
