Waiting At The Window
A. A. Milne
1882 to 1956
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.

John is rushing down the pane.
He's the one I want to win.
James is going slowly on.
I am waiting here to see
Is he going fast enough?
Both of them have different names.
(James was talking to a fly.)
Waiting on the window-pane.
John is getting very near.
One is John and one is James.
James has met a sort of smear.
Look! I told you! Here's the sun!
James has just begun to ooze.
He's the one I want to lose.
These are my two drops of rain
James is going pretty fast.
Something sort of sticks to John.
John is waiting to begin.
James is going slow again.
Comes from which of them is first.
John is moving off at last.
(James has found a piece of fluff.)
All the best and all the worst
John is there, and John has won!
Which the winning one will be.
John has quickly hurried by.
