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.

It had too many cares
My youth was my old age,
To think of song;
Weary and long;
Comes out in flower;
Late, as with Robin, comes
My singing power;
My moulting days all came
Till this late hour.
When I was young.
Now, in life's prime, my soul
I was not born to joy
