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.

The damp stands on the long green grass
No, the day has wept its fill,
O, I'm gone back to the days of youth,
Spent its store of silent sorrow.
Blue mists, sweet mists of summer pall
I watch this cloudy evening fall
Mild the mist upon the hill
And near the old hall door
Telling not of storms tomorrow;
As thick as morning's tears,
I am a child once more,
After a day of rain;
The horizon's mountain chain.
And dreamy scents of fragrance pass
That breathe of other years.
And 'neath my father's sheltering roof
