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.

Daily your dole, a safeguard from your tears,
Answers for both and is of Time the master.
Of Fate ask nothing, rather by your deeds
Offer him roses. 'Tis his month of June.
Seek out his service. He shall serve you soon.
Remember in the shade of the new years
Know this of Love, who fears not Fate's disaster
Rebuke it for its niggard ways unblest,
Dare all things for Love's sake, since love is best.
Watch all his ways. Do worship for his sake.
Only what Love has given. This shall be
—Knock loudly at Love's door. He is awake.
And trust to Love to shield you in your needs.
Outwitting change and Time's inconstancy.
