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.

Would I change the least, the slightest.
Life is in the horizon yet.
Not for charms, the newest, brightest,
While I've thee and love remaining,
That is lingering now o'er thine.
Do not think those charms are flying,
That on other cheeks may shine,
Beauty hath a grace undying,
Do not say that life is waning,
Tho' thy roses fade and fall;
Or that hope's sweet day is set;
Which in thee survives them all.
