The Merchant's Tale

Track 1
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.

To bring your vision back, my dear!”
While May had something else in mind.
Thought he’d wed to his delight,
In the garden lush and green,
And be wary, lest your sight you throw!
Remember January’s tale of woe,
A maiden named May, with golden hair.
May and Damian were oft seen,
For a tryst that none would soon forget.
May cried out, a clever dame,
He chose a bride so young and fair,
This tale will leave you wondering why!
Blinded knight, he stood below,
Young Damian, a squire sweet,
“It’s for your sight, I’m not to blame,
So if you wed a maiden young,
Suddenly his sight returned anew,
They climbed a tree, the game was set,
With plans so bold and tricks so sly,
With food and wine beyond compare,
But January was old and blind,
While January, none the wiser, lame.
Old January, wealthy knight,
They whispered secrets, planned their game,
Young May’s not what she seems to be,
Caught them in the act, it’s true!
And think your life will be so sung,
Caught May’s eye, oh what a treat,
Oh, January, don't you see,
I wrestled with the squire so dear,
While May and Damian’s love did grow,
They married in a grand affair,
