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.

In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
After long years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,

Too deeply to tell.
A knell to mine ear;
