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.

That I have died to keep.
Then tell my love the secret
To all the winds that blow.
Dust need not keep the secret
When I am fast asleep,
And finds me fast asleep,
The meadow-larks will know,
When April tells the thrushes,
Above his roof the swallows,
When April bends above me
O sparrow, little sparrow,
In notes like far-blown rain,
Beside his window-pane.
A live heart died to keep.
Will tell the chirping sparrow
And pipe the three words lightly
