Exercise 3

In the following poem, study carefully the inverted order of the

sentences. Rewrite them, placing the elements in their logical order. As

for example:

To the poor man you've been true from of old.

The elements of the sentence are inverted in this quotation. Rewritten

in their logical order this would read:

You've been true to the poor man from of old.

You will note that this inversion is quite common in poetry.
