Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. 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.

So deep in luve am I;
I will love thee still, my dear,
So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
That’s sweetly played in tune.
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
O my Luve is like the melody
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
That’s newly sprung in June;
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Though it were ten thousand mile.
