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.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
I shall but love thee better after death.
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
I love thee freely, as men strive for right;
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee with the passion put to use
