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.

  Is laughing, leaping toward the sun;
I hope I shall lie down some day,
To sheep-bells with a dreamy sound
I laugh, it is so brisk and gay;
  I pant and run.
It breaks the sunlight bound on bound;
Like lead I chase it evermore,
A blue-eyed phantom far before
  Lie down and sleep.
  It is so far before, I weep:
  Goes singing as it leaps along
  A dreamy song.
