There Shall be More Joy
Ford Madox Hueffer

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.

The little angels of Heaven
And they shall know joy more rare—
Not a bitter note in their song.
The little angels of Heaven
Play ball and play at chess;
But they shall know keener pleasure,
And they lean over the ramparts
And in the tall arcadings
Each wear a long white dress,
Not a bitter note in their pleasure,
Not a sigh the whole day long,
Waiting and looking down.
Each wear a long white gown,
When you, my dear, come there.
Keener, keener pleasure
With never a soil on their garments,
