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.

Ah! what is there I could not
Once I loved thee rich,
   Love me if I die!
Come! and murmur in my ear
   Now I love thee poor;
   So that thou be nigh?
   For thy sake endure?
What to me is life or death,
   How thou lov'st again!
Kiss me for my love!
   Pay me for my pain!
Love me if I live!
