Along the dark and silent night
Robert Herrick

Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. 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.

Rise, ye debtors, then, and fall
With my lantern and my light
Along the dark and silent night,
—By the clock 'tis almost One.
And the tinkling of my bell,
Thus I walk, and this I tell:
All accounts must come to clear:
—Death and dreadfulness call on
To the general session;
To whose dismal bar, we there
To make payment, while I call:
Scores of sins we've made here many;
Wiped out few, God knows, if any.
Ponder this, when I am gone:
