Alas! Alas! I Can't Forget
Amelia Alderson Opie
1769 to 1853
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.

Alas! alas! I can't forget,
May I, in thought, your charms behold,
Still sit in memory rapt, and view,
For still I see whate'er I view
Since I alas! can ne'er forget,
The hour when first we met.
The fateful hour when first we met,
But while so many swains you see,
But if by you, I'm quite forgot,
Do you my Clara think on me?
O! hard indeed will be my lot,
And still to others beauty cold,
Those eyes of pensive blue
Those eyes of pensive blue.
If so, I wish not to forget,
The hour when first we met.
