Low-Tide
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Track 1
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.

These wet rocks where the tide went down
Barnacled white and weeded brown
House full of wonderful things and new,
A giant's empty house all day,—
The bottom of the sea once more.
But no fit place for a child to play.
Will show again when the tide is high
There was a child that wandered through
And slimed beneath to a beautiful green,
These wet rocks where the tide has been,
Faint and perilous, far from shore,
No place to dream, but a place to die,—
