My own heart let me more have pity on
Gerard Manley Hopkins
1844 to 1889
Track 1
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.

My own heart let me more have pity on; let
At God knows when to God knows what; whose smile
Betweenpie mountains — lights a lovely mile.
Eyes in their dark can day or thirst can find
I cast for comfort I can no more get
You, jaded, let be; call off thoughts awhile
By groping round my comfortless, than blind
Charitable; not live this tormented mind
Thirst's all-in-all in all a world of wet.
Me live to my sad self hereafter kind,
Soul, self; come, poor Jackself, I do advise
s not wrung, see you; unforeseen times rather — as skies
With this tormented mind tormenting yet.
Elsewhere; leave comfort root-room; let joy size
