One Certainty
Christina Rossetti
1830 to 1894
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 morning shall be cold, and twilight gray.
All things are vanity. The eye and ear
Till all things end in the long dust of death.
Vanity of vanities, the Preacher saith,
The old thorns shall grow out of the old stem,
Until the ancient race of Time be run,
To-day is still the same as yesterday,
So little joy hath he, so little cheer,
And there is nothing new under the sun:
To-morrow also even as one of them;
Like early dew, or like the sudden breath
Of wind, or like the grass that withereth,
Is man, tossed to and fro by hope and fear:
Cannot be filled with what they see and hear.
