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.

And very few to love:
The difference to me!
She dwelt among the untrodden ways
When Lucy ceased to be;
A Maid whom there were none to praise
—Fair as a star, when only one
Beside the springs of Dove,
A violet by a mossy stone
Is shining in the sky.
She lived unknown, and few could know
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
Half hidden from the eye!
