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.

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Better by far you should forget and smile
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Remember me when I am gone away,
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
Yet if you should forget me for a while
Only remember me; you understand
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Gone far away into the silent land;
Than that you should remember and be sad.
Remember me when no more day by day
