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.

A soul unbent by the world’s despair!
Greeting the beam o’er the far hills borne.
Floating aloft on thy russet wing,
As long as the fields and the woods are green,
Soaring so high in the dawning grey?
The breezes soft, and the sky serene,
O! for a spirit untorn by care,
Whither, oh sweet lark, whither away,
Soaring so high in the dawning grey?
I see thee not, but I hear thy voice,
I see thee not, but I hear thy voice,
To revel and sing in the morning shine!
O! for a wing and a voice like thine,
Singing aloud, "Rejoice! rejoice!
Pleasant to thee are the days of spring;
Happy art thou, O bird of morn,
Singing aloud, "Rejoice! rejoice!
Whither, oh! sweet lark, whither away,
For sorrow is man’s, and man’s alone!
Thou hast no sorrow to make thee moan,
