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.

And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
No time to see, in broad daylight,
A poor life this if, full of care,
No time to see, when woods we pass,
What is this life if, full of care,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
We have no time to stand and stare.
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
