Nuns fret not
William Wordsworth
1770 to 1850
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.

Will murmur by the hour in Foxglove bells:
In sundry moods, 'twas pastime to be bound
Within the Sonnet's scanty plot of ground:
High as the highest Peak of Furness Fells,
Maids at the Wheel, the Weaver at his Loom,
Who have felt the weight of too much liberty,
Pleas'd if some Souls (for such there needs must be)
Sit blithe and happy; Bees that soar for bloom,
Ourselves, no prison is: and hence to me,
And Students with their pensive Citadels:
And Hermits are contented with their Cells;
Should find short solace there, as I have found.
In truth, the prison, unto which we doom
Nuns fret not at their Convent's narrow room;
