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.

Where Cart rins rowin to the sea,
While bees delight in op'ning flowers;
And I gied it to the weaver.
There lives a lad, the lad for me,
Oh, I had wooers aught or nine,
I'll love my gallant weaver.
And I was fear'd my heart would tine,
He is a gallant weaver.
While birds rejoice in leafy bowers;
By mony a flow'r and spreading tree,
But to my heart I'll add my hand,
While corn grows green in simmer showers,
To gie the lad that has the land;
My daddie sign'd my tocher-band,
They gied me rings and ribbons fine;
And gie it to the weaver.
