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 shuts a distant door.
A woman as I was born!
The airs he knew
As I sit, why such
I play my sweet old airs —
As if it would stay;
And another night
When our love was true —
And I wonder much
In this soul-sick blight;
But he goes his way,
And passes up the stairs.
I sing my songs once more,
His footstep near
And presently hear
So I wait for another morn,
His determined walk,
But he does not balk
