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.

What though sorrow seems to win,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Life's sunny hours flit by,
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
Still strong to bear us well.
Enjoy them as they fly!
Foretells a pleasant day.
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Unconquered, though she fell;
What though Death at times steps in
The day of trial bear,
O why lament its fall?
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
Can courage quell despair!
And calls our Best away?
But these are transient all;
Oft a little morning rain
Rapidly, merrily,
O'er hope, a heavy sway?
So dark as sages say;
Gratefully, cheerily,
Life, believe, is not a dream
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Manfully, fearlessly,
