Now Let No Charitable Hope
Elinor Wylie
1885 to 1928
Track 1
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.

But none has merited my fear,
The years go by in single file;
Now let no charitable hope
Of eagle and of antelope:
In masks outrageous and austere
I am by nature none of these.
I was, being human, born alone;
I am, being woman, hard beset;
I live by squeezing from a stone
And none has quite escaped my smile.
The little nourishment I get.
Confuse my mind with images
