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.

And bending, yet it doth not break?
I will answer,—these discover
Ask me why the stalk is weak
This sweet Infanta of the year?
Ask me why this flower does show
What fainting hopes are in a lover.
This Primrose, thus bepearl'd with dew?
I will whisper to your ears,—
The sweets of love are mixt with tears.
So yellow-green, and sickly too?
Ask me why I send to you
Ask me why I send you here
