Friendship After Love
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
1850 to 1919
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.

After the fierce midsummer all ablaze
Cool verdant vales we wander free from care.
So after Love has led us, till he tires
He beckons us to follow, and across
Is it a touch of frost lies in the air?
And yet, and yet, these days are incomplete.
In the intensity of its own fires,
Has burned itself to ashes, and expires
Comes large-eyed friendship: with a restful gaze,
We do not wish the pain back, or the heat;
There come the mellow, mild, St. Martin days
Why are we haunted with a sense of loss?
Crowned with the calm of peace, but sad with haze.
Of his own throes, and torments, and desires,
