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.

Oft a little morning rain
And calls our Best away?
O’er hope, a heavy sway?
The day of trial bear,
So dark as sages say;
What though sorrow seems to win,
Foretells a pleasant day.
Unconquered, though she fell;
O why lament its fall?
Life’s sunny hours flit by,
Still strong to bear us well.
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Rapidly, merrily,
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
Can courage quell despair!
For gloriously, victoriously,
Life, believe, is not a dream
Gratefully, cheerily,
Manfully, fearlessly,
But these are transient all;
What though Death at times steps in
Enjoy them as they fly!
Yet hope again elastic springs,
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
