Death
Percy Bysshe Shelley
1792 to 1822
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.

Watch the calm sunset with them, and this spot
Which he so feebly calls—they all are gone—
Thou wilt not be consoled—I wonder not!
For I have seen thee from thy dwelling’s door
Sits near an open grave and calls them over,
Was even as bright and calm, but transitory,
These tombs—alone remain.
These tombs—alone remain.
They die—the dead return not—Misery
This most familiar scene, my pain—
Fond wretch, all dead! those vacant names alone,
This most familiar scene, my pain—
And now thy hopes are gone, thy hair is hoary;
Misery, my sweetest friend—oh, weep no more!
They are the names of kindred, friend and lover,
A Youth with hoary hair and haggard eye—
