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.

Could come back nevermore.
In the mossful turf were set,
Then they parted heavy-hearted;
Only they had lost a crown;
I will tell you when they parted:
Indeed, when they shall meet again,
Only to them those days of yore
Forever, yesterday, to-day;
I will tell you when they met:
Oaken boughs looked wintry still,
Beyond the sea of death love lies
And build with right good will.
When shall they meet? I cannot tell,
Elder boughs were budding yet,
Except some day in Paradise:
For this they wait, one waits in pain.
When plenteous Autumn sheaves were brown,
As grand as in the days before;
The full rejoicing sun looked down
In the limpid days of Spring;
And they shall answer, "Yea.
Angels shall ask them, "Is it well?
While meeting birds made haste to sing
But primrose and veined violet
