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.

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