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.

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,
