I Love You
Sara Teasdale
1884 to 1933

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