It was not in the Winter

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.

Twas twilight, and I bade you go,
And when I ask'd the like of Love,
And oped it to the dainty core,
But still you held me fast;

With flowers when first we met!
We plucked them as we passed!
What else could peer thy glowing cheek,
That tears began to stud?

It was the Time of Roses,—
We plucked them as we pass'd!
We pluck'd them as we pass'd.—
On early lovers yet:—
That churlish season never frown'd
Our loving lot was cast;
