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.

One moment I stand, then sudden
My arms around it twine;
I lean against the birch tree,
The air is sunny and chill;
Grow thick upon the hill.
The passionate wind of spring!
It pulses, and leaps, and quivers,
Let loose mine arms that cling:
The birch trees and the pine trees
Stirs in its leafy heart.
A birch tree stands apart;
The passionate wind of spring-time
Like a human heart to mine.
O God! the lonely hillside,
Lone and tall, with silver stem,
At Loschwitz above the city
