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.

At the top of the hill.
By thicket and thorn.
With fewer companions
Is bright in the morn;
We pace it at even;
But oh! there's an hour
Is pleasant and even.
And the dread of the night.
Tis the flight of the day
The road leading nowhere
Tis the halt after noon
As it slips out of sight;
That is fatal and still;
We troop it and foot it
The road leading nowhere
Tis the look of the road
