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.

Where cold and unhonored his relics are laid:
But the night-dew that falls, tho' in silence it weeps,
Shall long keep his memory green in our souls.
Sad, silent, and dark, be the tears that we shed,
Shall brighten with verdure the grave where he sleeps;
As the night-dew that falls on the grass o'er his head.
And the tear that we shed, tho' in secret it rolls,
Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
