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.

Summer, that all joys gave,
Now I am in the grave,
The woman in whose golden smile
That living loved me.
What sweet things love me?
Summer, that gave me birth,
One changeless woman; yea, all those
Whose beauty moved me;
Now I am on the earth,
Whence death, alas! hath torn me;
The rose I planted;
The bird I loved a little while;
One bird that sang to me; one rose
Life seems enchanted.
What sweet things mourn me?
And glows on still above me;
