Oh! Snatched Away in Beauty's Bloom
Lord Byron
1788 to 1824
Track 1
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.

And the wild cypress wave in tender gloom:
Oh! snatched away in beauty's bloom,
Fond wretch! as if her step disturbed the dead!
And lingering pause and lightly tread;
Or make one mourner weep the less?
And feed deep thought with many a dream,
Their leaves, the earliest of the year;
Thy looks are wan, thine eyes are wet.
And thou—who tell'st me to forget,
Away! we know that tears are vain,
That Death nor heeds nor hears distress:
Shall Sorrow lean her drooping head,
And oft by yon blue gushing stream
On thee shall press no ponderous tomb;
But on thy turf shall roses rear
Will this unteach us to complain?
