The lark now leaves his wat'ry nest
Sir William Davenant
1608 to 1668

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.

Till she can dress her beauty at your eyes.
Who look for day before his mistress wakes.
The ploughman from the sun his season takes;
The merchant bows unto the seaman's star,
But still the lover wonders what they are,
And to implore your light, he sings:
And, climbing, shakes his dewy wings;
Awake, awake! break thro' your veils of lawn!
Awake, awake! the morn will never rise,
The lark now leaves his wat'ry nest,
He takes this window for the east;
Then draw your curtains, and begin the dawn.
