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.

Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
Under the wide and starry sky,
  And I laid me down with a will.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
  And the hunter home from the hill.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Dig the grave and let me lie.
