Jabberwocky
Lewis Carroll
1832 to 1898
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.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
He went galumphing back.
He chortled in his joy.
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
And stood awhile in thought.
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
And burbled as it came!
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
All mimsy were the borogoves,
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
One, two! One, two! And through and through
He left it dead, and with its head
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
