Virginibus Puerisque...
Alan Seeger
1888 to 1916

Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. 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.

When dandelions dot the fields with gold,
I care not that one listen if he lives
All life's necessities the need to love,
Nor counts his greatest wealth what Beauty gives.
Across the sweet fifth lustrum of my days.
Tis sweet to stroll and hear the bluebirds sing,
Make the companion of an idle hour
These relics of the time when I too fared
For aught but life's romance, nor puts above
Do you, blond head, whom beauty and the power
But sometime on an afternoon in spring,
Of being young and winsome have prepared
For life's last privilege that really pays,
And under rustling shade a few weeks old
