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.

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