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.

To an admiring bog!
How public, like a frog
Then there's a pair of us—don't tell!
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
To tell your name the livelong day
