Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. The poet seeks to draw a contrast between the permanence of Nature and the changeableness of men. As the poet returns to
the rivulet over the course of his life, he is acutely aware of certain truths. Match these truths, or themes, to the lines from the
poem that represent them
People have dreams that
remain unfulfilled
People have pleasant life
experiences worth recalling
People cannot stay the same
people must age and pass away
Lines from Poem
Themes
And the grave stranger, come to see
The play-place of his infancy,
And, singing down thy narrow glen,
Shalt mock the fading race of men.
I've tried the world-- it wears no more
The colouring of romance it wore.
