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.

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