The Miller’s Daughter
Alfred Lord Tennyson
1809 to 1892
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.

And I would lie so light, so light,
That trembles in her ear:
And she is grown so dear, so dear,
And I should know if it beat right,
That I would be the jewel
With her laughter or her sighs:
In sorrow and in rest:
I’d touch her neck so warm and white.
About her dainty dainty waist,
I’d clasp it round so close and tight.
Upon her balmy bosom,
And her heart would beat against me,
It is the miller’s daughter,
And I would be the necklace,
And all day long to fall and rise
And I would be the girdle
I scarce should be unclasp’d at night.
For hid in ringlets day and night,
