Oh fair enough are sky and plain
A.E.Housman
1859 to 1936
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.

In act upon the cressy brink
The trees and clouds and air,
And wishes he were I.
And azure meres I spy
Those are as beautiful again
A silly lad that longs and looks
To strip and dive and drown;
The like on earth was never seen,
Oh fair enough are sky and plain,
And oh that I were there.
These are the thoughts I often think
The pools and rivers wash so clean
That in the water are;
But in the golden-sanded brooks
As I stand gazing down
But I know fairer far:
