When We Two Parted
Lord Byron
1788 to 1824
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.

Long, long shall I rue thee,
If I should meet thee
I hear thy name spoken,
In silence and tears,
It felt like the warning
A shudder comes o’er me—
Sorrow to this.
Who knew thee too well—
That thy heart could forget,
In silence I grieve,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
How should I greet thee?—
After long years,
They name thee before me,
And share in its shame.
A knell to mine ear;
The dew of the morning
To sever for years,
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
Why wert thou so dear?
With silence and tears.
And light is thy fame;
They know not I knew thee,
Truly that hour foretold
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met—
Thy spirit deceive.
Half broken-hearted
When we two parted
Colder thy kiss;
Sunk chill on my brow—
