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.

That you could give, you now can take away:
Your presence and your favours, the full part
Is bow me down, that have been loved by you.
Here might you bless me; what you cannot do
What lies between your beauty and my heart
Not from your temper does my doom depend;
Not even you can trouble or betray.
In this, that is my portion to the end.
Love me or love me not, you have no voice
Mistake me not—unto my inmost core
That bleach upon the deserts of the south;
I do desire your kiss upon my mouth;
I know my mind and I have made my choice;
They have not craved a cup of water more
