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.

There we shall not count the hours
Can hold round what once the earth
Underneath the living flowers,
Youth and health will be but vain,
Underneath the growing grass,
By the shadows as they pass.
Seemed too narrow to contain.
There a very little girth
Deeper than the sound of showers:
Beauty reckoned of no worth:
