Sheep and Lambs
Katharine Tynan Hinkson
1861 to 1931
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 thought on the Lamb of God.
I thought on the Lamb of God.
Up in the blue, blue mountains
The sheep with their little lambs
The lambs were weary, and crying
April airs were abroad;
Up on the hill-top green;
All in an April evening
Pass'd me by on the road.
The sheep with their little lambs
With a weak human cry;
All in the April morning,
Two stark crosses between.
All in the April evening,
Rest for the little bodies,
April airs were abroad;
Pass'd me by on the road;
Only a cross of shame
Dewy pastures are sweet:
I thought on the Lamb of God
I saw the sheep with their lambs,
Rest for the Lamb of God
Rest for the little feet.
Going meekly to die.
