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.

Ye do lie,
And so graced,
—Yet, though thus respected,
'Fore damask roses.
More sweet than any.
You're the maiden posies;
She has virgins many,
You do bring
Welcome, maids of honour,
By and by
Yet you are
Poor girls, neglected.
In the Spring;
Fresh and fair;
To be placed
And wait upon her.
