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.

Lean out of the window,
Singing and singing
    A merry air,
My book was closed,
For I heard you singing
Lean out of the window,
    A merry air.
I hear you singing
    Goldenhair.
    I read no more,
    I have left my room,
    On the floor.
I have left my book,
Watching the fire dance
    Goldenhair,
    Through the gloom.
