The Mask
William Butler Yeats
1865 to 1939
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.

It was the mask engaged your mind,
Not what's behind.
And yet not cold.
Put off that mask of burning gold
To find if hearts be wild and wise,
And after set your heart to beat,
O no, my dear, you make so bold
But lest you are my enemy,
O no, my dear, let all that be,
What matter, so there is but fire
In you, in me?
I must enquire.
I would but find what's there to find,
With emerald eyes.
Love or deceit.
