Proud Maisie
Sir Walter Scott
1771 to 1832
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.

The owl from the steeple sing,
Birdie, say truly?"—
The glowworm o'er grave and stone
Kirkward shall carry ye.
Sweet Robin sits on the bush,
Walking so early;
Welcome, proud lady.
Proud Maisie is in the wood,
When six braw gentlemen
Shall light thee steady;
When shall I marry me?"—
Who makes the bridal bed,
The gray-headed sexton
Singing so rarely.
Tell me, thou bonny bird,
That delves the grave duly.
