Vespers
A. A. Milne
1882 to 1956
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.

Droops on the little hands little gold head.
Oh! God bless Nanny and make her good.
The cold's so cold, and the hot's so hot.
I said "Bless Daddy," so what can it be?
If I open my fingers a little bit more,
Wasn't it fun in the bath to-night?
It's a beautiful blue, but it hasn't a hood.
And pull the hood right over my head,
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
And what was the other I had to say?
And nobody knows that I'm there at all.
Oh! Now I remember it. God bless Me.
I can see Nanny's dressing-gown on the door.
Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!
Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!
Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Oh! God bless Daddy—I quite forgot.
Oh! Thank you, God, for a lovely day.
Mine has a hood, and I lie in bed,
And I shut my eyes, and I curl up small,
Droops on the little hands little gold head.
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
God bless Mummy. I know that's right.
