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.

Upon her balmy bosom,
And she is grown so dear, so dear,
In sorrow and in rest:
With her laughter or her sighs:
And all day long to fall and rise
About her dainty dainty waist,
And I should know if it beat right,
For hid in ringlets day and night,
I scarce should be unclasp'd at night.
And I would be the necklace,
I'd touch her neck so warm and white.
That I would be the jewel
I'd clasp it round so close and tight.
That trembles in her ear:
And her heart would beat against me,
And I would lie so light, so light,
It is the miller's daughter,
And I would be the girdle
