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.

Warm and joyous in our breasts.
But coldness dwells within thy heart,
O’er the grass-grown graves, where slumbered
We have wept with bitter tears,
We have been gay together —
Would bid thee clear thy brow;
Since first beneath the chesnut trees
For the fount of hope was gushing
And sullen glooms thy brow;
A cloud is on thy brow;
Shall a light word part us now?
The voices which are silent there
Oh! What shall part us now?
We have been sad together —
We have been sad together,
Shall a light word part us now?
In infancy we played.
The hopes of early years.
We have laughed at little jests;
We have been friends together,
We have been friends together —
We have been gay together;
In sunshine and in shade;
But laughter now hath fled thy lip,
