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.

By fairy hands their knell is rung;
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
And Freedom shall a while repair,
There Honour comes, a pilgrim gray,
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
How sleep the brave, who sink to rest
By all their country's wishes bless'd!
To dwell a weeping hermit there.
By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Returns to deck their hallow'd mould,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
