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.

Love so warm, so wild, to last.
Every wish I breathed thee then,
Hopes that now beguiling leave me,
Couldst thou make me feel again
But to mourn the past;
No—there's nothing left us now,
Life itself looks dark and cold;
One dear smile like those of old.
Never yet did Heaven allow
One dear smile like those of old
Not even hope could now deceive me—
First I sighed for thee;
Couldst thou look as dear as when
Oh, thou never more canst give me
Oh, how blissful life would be!
All would wake, couldst thou but give me
Vain was every ardent vow—
Joys that lie in slumber cold—
