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.

Let this be as it is; — but this I know.
Tunes that charmed once fail, sometime, to allure.
Weary we grow of grief, or too much glee;
The stormy winds grow weary of the sea;
Yea, though as one our lives may never be, —
The sailor lad grows weary of the shore;
Wearies of earth, and leaves the happy lea;
My love, O sweet, shall weary not of thee.
Though joy remembered turns to deepest woe;
Suns set, moons rise, the stars do not endure.
Though life, grown weary, parts at length from me;
We weary captive, and we weary free:
Through life, in death, where none may reap or sow,
The Spring, a maiden beautiful and pure,
