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.

What care I if Chloe flout?)
(Doves within a nest),
Columbines for me.
White for loyalty,
Ere the bloom is on the bines,
Take your roses, bring again
They will watch the roses out,
Fairer nosegay no lad twines
Sing a song of columbines,
Sing a song of columbines
For his Chloe's breast —
Purple all for lover's pain,
(Rose though Chloe be —
White and purple-stoled,
When the nights are cold —
Columbines for me.
