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.

A prey to fear, anxiety, and pain,
For me wilt thou renew the withered rose,
Must I a sad existence still deplore?
'For me the vernal garland blooms no more.'
Alas! the flatterer flies, and will not hear!
And clear my painful path of pointed thorn?
Ah come, sweet nymph! in smiles and softness drest,
And I will bless thee, who though slow art sure.
Oh, Hope! thou soother sweet of human woes!
Like the young hours that lead the tender year
Lo! the flowers fade, but all the thorns remain,
Come then, 'pale Misery's love!' be thou my cure,
How shall I lure thee to my haunts forlorn!
Enchantress come! and charm my cares to rest:
