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.

    When love is done.
The night has a thousand eyes,
Yet the light of a whole life dies
    With the dying sun.
    And the heart but one:
    And the day but one;
The mind has a thousand eyes,
Yet the light of the bright world dies
