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.

But only so an hour.
So Eden sank to grief,
Nature's first green is gold,
Nothing gold can stay.
Her early leaf's a flower;
So dawn goes down to day.
Her hardest hue to hold,
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
