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.

    A happy blossom
Seek your cradle narrow,
Sees you, swift as arrow,
Under leaves so green
    Near my bosom.
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, pretty robin,
Under leaves so green
Pretty, pretty robin!
    Near my bosom.
    A happy blossom
Merry, merry sparrow!
