A Thunderstorm in Town
Thomas Hardy
1840 to 1928

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.

We sat on, snug and warm.
(A Reminiscence: 1893)
She wore a new "terra-cotta" dress,
Within the hansom's dry recess,
I should have kissed her if the rain
And the glass that had screened our forms before
And we stayed, because of the pelting storm,
Flew up, and out she sprang to her door:
Though the horse had stopped; yea, motionless
Had lasted a minute more.
Then the downpour ceased, to my sharp sad pain
