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.

Would throw away, and straight take up again,
Down which the child would roll; to pluck gay flowers,
Make posies in the sun, which the child's hand
To sit in fancy on the turf-clad slope,
That the pressed daisy scarce declined her head.
Then fling them to the winds, and o'er the lawn
Upon the days gone by; to act in thought
(Childhood offended soon, soon reconciled)
Past seasons o'er, and be again a child;
Bound with so playful and so light a foot,
In my poor mind it is most sweet to muse
