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.

There was a song that lived within the heart
For what are many, if we lack the one?
And it was vainly done—
But ne'er the one for whom the song was made.
And it was vainly done—
But ne'er the one for whom the work was planned.
Then Summer held it in her bounteous hand,
Long time—and then on Music's wing it strayed!
All sing it now, all praise its artless art,
There was a garden planned in Spring's young days,
And many wandered through its blooming ways,
For what are many, if we lack the one!
