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.

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
Come live, and be merry, and join with me,
And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene;
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it;
When Mary and Susan and Emily
When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
With their sweet round mouths sing 'Ha ha he!
To sing the sweet chorus of 'Ha ha he!
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
When the meadows laugh with lively green,
