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.

    God gives them food:—
    Our God doth view
    Consider
    What profits all this care
Consider
Whether they fall or mount,—
    Consider
The birds that have no barn nor harvest-weeks;
Much more our Father seeks
The lilies of the field whose bloom is brief:—
    Like them we fade away,
    To do us good.
    Yet are most fair:—
As doth a leaf.
The sparrows of the air of small account:
    He guards us too.
    Consider
The lilies that do neither spin nor toil,
    We are as they;
And all this coil?
