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.

His country and his town estate.
His lot seems light, his heart seems gay,
And jeers at Fate.
He frivols through the livelong day,
He smokes a fifty-cent cigar
The rich man has his motor-car,
Think you that I would change with him?
You bet I would!
He has a cinch.
Yet though my lamp burns low and dim,
Though I must slave for livelihood—
He knows not Poverty her pinch.
