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.

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