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.

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