Tavern
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 to 1950
Track 1
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.

But all the good I know
Wherein all grey-eyed people
A long time ago.
There shall be plates a-plenty,
Who happen up the hill.
Of all the grey-eyed people
Aye, 'tis a curious fancy—
There sound will sleep the traveller,
Below the high hill's crest,
Was taught me out of two grey eyes
But I will rouse at midnight
And mugs to melt the chill
The falling fire to tend.
May sit them down and rest.
And dream his journey's end,
I'll keep a little tavern
