Kin to Sorrow
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 to 1950
Track 1
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.

Oh, come in!
And what does Sorrow care
And rosemary stand,
For the rosemary
Under Sorrow's hand?
Are we kin?
Falls the knocker of my door—
Am I kin to Sorrow,
That so oft
Neither loud nor soft,
But as long accustomed,
That so oft upon my door—
Am I kin to Sorrow?
And then comes Sorrow—
Marigolds around the step
Or the marigolds there?
