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.

Good morrow to the world's delight—
It was when all sweets were over
But I've brought thee jewels, dearest,
They have learn'd that look of mine!
I've come to bless thy life's beginning,
Good morrow to the golden morning,
In thy bonny locks to shine,—
And if love shows in their glances,
Since it makes my own so bright!
I have brought no roses, sweetest,
Thou wert born to bless the year.
I could find no flowers, dear,—
