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.

Unsung by thee?
Where the rill flows.
Of her night-bower,
Then from the green recess
Of song's sweet measures,
Tho' morn should lend her
Floating in harmony
Beauty should glide along
Beaming with bashfulness,
To his loved Rose:—
Woman's bright way;
Vain were its melody,
Its sunniest splendor,
Circled by Song.
Light to the lay.
Thus still let Song attend
Rose, without thee.
What would the Rose be,
Thus still let woman lend
Thus said a Nightingale
Tho' rich the pleasures
Down in yon summer vale,
Like stars thro' heaven's sea
Spoke the bright flower:—
