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.

Had I a cave on some wild, distant shore,
Laugh o'er thy perjury,
Till grief my eyes should close,
Ne'er to wake more.
To thy new lover hie,
Where the winds howl to the waves' dashing roar;
What peace is there!
Falsest of womankind, canst thou declare,
Then in thy bosom try
There seek my lost repose,
There would I weep my woes,
All thy fond plighted vows—fleeting as air!
