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.

The night has a thousand eyes,
    And the heart but one:
    With the dying sun.
Yet the light of the bright world dies
The mind has a thousand eyes,
    And the day but one;
    When love is done.
Yet the light of a whole life dies
