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.

Gives somewhere back the thoughts of England given;
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
That is for ever England. There shall be
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
That there's some corner of a foreign field
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
If I should die, think only this of me:
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
