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.

A fool I was to sleep at noon,
And sun-warm'd sweet to-morrow:—
My garden-plot I have not kept;
Faded and all-forsaken,
No more to laugh, no more to sing,
I weep as I have never wept:
It's winter now I waken.
And wake when night is chilly
Talk what you please of future spring
A fool to snap my lily.
Stripp'd bare of hope and everything,
I sit alone with sorrow.
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
Oh it was summer when I slept,
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
