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.

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