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.

Enjoys the open blossoms as they straw
And I do lift my anguished, avid breast,
Dreaming your yielded mouth is given to mine,
Feeling your strong breast carry me on into
Reject me not if I should say to you
I see your blanched face at my breast, and hide
And I do lift my aching arms to you,
Under the pallid moonlight’s fingering,
The blind to hide the garden, where the moon
The peace where sleep is stronger even than wine.
Their beauty for his taking, boon for boon.
Ah, then, upon my bedroom I do draw
My eyes from diligent work, malingering.
I do forget your eyes that searching through
And I do weep for very pain of you,
And fling myself at the doors of sleep, for rest.
I do forget the sounding of your voice,
And I do toss through the troubled night for you,
Yet, when the apple-blossom opens wide
The mists perceive our marriage, and rejoice.
