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.

Twenty times better; but once in special,
With naked foot, stalking in my chamber.
To take bread at my hand; and now they range,

But all is turned thorough my gentleness
And she also, to use newfangleness.

They flee from me that sometime did me seek
And she me caught in her arms long and small;
In thin array after a pleasant guise,
