For warmth alone, for shelter only
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 to 1950
Track 1
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.

For warmth alone, for shelter only
And the wind still waiting at the foot of the stair,
Laying my head against your arm
Withdrawing it, and sitting there,
And much harm done, and the phrase in air.
To be at your door when I go down
Is abroad at all tonight in town,
That knows my whereabouts, and mainly
A moment, and as suddenly
From the cold anger of the eyeless wind,
I left my phrase in air, and sinned,
Warmed a little but far from warm,
