Track 1

Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. 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.

To cry and to be kissed again?
I kissed your tears, and did not stay
Ah, hapless me! ah, heartless child!
She would not kiss me when she smiled.
Ah me! how should I understand
That piteous little you were fain
Because you cried, I kissed you, and,
But soon I found, without a doubt,
That I had found what I had sought.
Because you smiled at last, I thought
No man can find a woman out.
Till I had kissed them all away.
