Who fancied what a pretty sight
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.

Where life is wise and innocent.
How glorious to this Orchard ground!
That prompts such work, a Spirit strong,
Who fancied what a pretty sight
With living Snowdrops? circlet bright!
Of Man mature, or Matron sage?
To each or all might well belong.
The Shepherd Queen, were thus arrayed?
Or rather of some love-sick Maid,
Upon its Head this Coronet?
This Rock would be if edged around
It is the Spirit of Paradise
Whose brows, the day that she was styled
Was it the humour of a Child?
Who loved the little Rock, and set
That gives to all the self-same bent
I ask'd—'twas whisper'd, The device
Or old Man toying with his age?
