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.

A woman's love?
Was a dearer ever heard,
O the voice of woman's love!
'Tis the gem of beauty's birth,
And resting place of all,
Cold, ah! cold, must his appear,
Who hath never shared a part
'Tis freedom to the thrall;
'Tis pleasure to the mourner,
The pilgrimage of many,
If without a woman's love—
Than woman's love?
What a bosom-stirring word!
Of woman's love.
What were angels upon earth,
Was a sweeter ever uttered,
It competes with joys above;
How it melts upon the ear,
Is woman's love.
How it nourishes the heart!
