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.

Like lead I chase it evermore,
I hope I shall lie down some day,
  Is laughing, leaping toward the sun;
  It is so far before, I weep:
  Goes singing as it leaps along
  I pant and run.
  A dreamy song.
To sheep-bells with a dreamy sound
I laugh, it is so brisk and gay;
A blue-eyed phantom far before
It breaks the sunlight bound on bound;
  Lie down and sleep.
