When I am dead, my dearest
Christina Rossetti

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.

With showers and dewdrops wet;
When I am dead, my dearest,
Plant thou no roses at my head,
I shall not feel the rain;
And haply may forget.
Sing on, as if in pain:
And if thou wilt, forget.
Sing no sad songs for me;
Be the green grass above me
I shall not see the shadows,
Haply I may remember,
Nor shady cypress tree:
I shall not hear the nightingale
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
And if thou wilt, remember,
