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.

Wherein all pleasant fruits do grow;
Her brows like bended bows do stand,
These sacred cherries to come nigh,
Of orient pearl a double row,
They look like rosebuds fill'd with snow;
Till cherry ripe themselves do cry.
Her eyes like angels watch them still,
Yet them no peer nor prince may buy
All that approach with eye or hand
Till cherry ripe themselves do cry.
Where roses and white lilies grow;
Which, when her lovely laughter shows,
A heavenly paradise is that place,
There is a garden in her face,
Threatening with piercing frowns to kill
Till cherry ripe themselves do cry.
There cherries grow that none may buy
Those cherries fairly do enclose
