Fade, Flow'rs!
Edmund Waller
1606 to 1687
Track 1
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.

And as your leaves lie quiet on the ground,
But some so like to thorns and nettles live,
So in the grave shall we as quiet lie,
That none for them can, when they perish, grieve.
Fade, Flow'rs! fade, Nature will have it so;
Miss'd by some few that lov'd our company;
The loss alone by those that lov'd them found;
'Tis but what we must in our autumn do!
