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.

Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,
Who treads alone
I feel like one
The words of love then spoken;
When I remember all
Sad memory brings the light
The cheerful hearts now broken!
Fond memory brings the light
Of boyhood’s years,
Whose garlands dead,
Now dimm’d and gone,
Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,
Like leaves in wintry weather;
Whose lights are fled,
Sad memory brings the light
Of other days around me.
I’ve seen around me fall,
Oft, in the stilly night,
Thus, in the stilly night,
Scotch Air
The friends, so link’d together,
Of other days around me.
The eyes that shone,
Of other days around me;
Thus, in the stilly night,
The smiles, the tears,
And all but he departed!
Some banquet-hall deserted,
Ere slumber’s chain hath bound me,
