Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. 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.

Be but your own;
Love me at last—I am but sliding water
Love me at last, or if you will not,
Over a stone.
Love me at last, or let the last word uttered
Love me, or leave me—as a cloud, a vapor,
Or a bird flown.
Love me at last—or leave me.
Leave me;
Hard words could never, as these half-words,
Grieve me:
