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.

Though time has changed my look, and blanched my hair,
Lady, as when I loved thee young and fair!
Though I remember one sad hour with pain,
Yet still remembering youth's enchanted way,
And for thy welfare breathe as warm a prayer,
When last we parted, thou wert young and fair —
And parted long, to hear that voice again; —
So hath it perished, like a thing of air,
And never thought, long as I yet might live,
Nigh forty years, leaving my temples bare: —
That dream of love and youth: — we now are grey;
I can a sad, but cordial greeting, give,
Alas! since then old Time has stol'n away
How beautiful let fond remembrance say!
