Spring Morning
A. A. Milne

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.

You'd sail on water as blue as air,
Where am I going? The ring-doves coo:
Up on the hill where the pine trees blow—
Where am I going? The clouds sail by,
If you were a bird, and lived on high,
Anywhere, anywhere. I don't know.
You'd lean on the wind when the wind came by,
Down to the stream where the king-cups grow—
We do have beautiful things to do.
Doesn't the sky look green to-day?
Where am I going? The high rooks call:
Anywhere, anywhere. I don't know.
You'd say to the wind when it took you away:
It's awful fun to be born at all.
Down to the wood where the blue-bells grow—
That's where I wanted to go to-day!
If you were a cloud, and sailed up there,
Little ones, baby ones, over the sky.
Where am I going? I don't quite know.
Little ones, baby ones, over the grass.
And you'd see me here in the fields and say:
What does it matter where people go?
Where am I going? The shadows pass,
Where am I going? I don't quite know.
