Days Too Short
W. H. Davies

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.

As though escaped from Nature's hand
When butterflies will make side-leaps,
For me, doth wear the veil of Night.
Each seems a broken rimmèd moon—
Upon their heads in fragrant deeps;
And small, blue violets come between;
When primroses are out in Spring,
And rills, as soon as born, must sing;
When merry birds sing on boughs green,
When such things are, this world too soon,
Ere perfect quite; and bees will stand
When small clouds are so silvery white
