Kisses in the Train
D. H. Lawrence
1885 to 1930
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.

Tossed back in a scare.
Through the world did thresh.
Sought her afresh;
Around in joy
And sheep on the pasture
And still in my nostrils
And still one pulse
Neck was found,
Shifted round.
And still my wet mouth
Her own to my perfect
As all the ground
But firm at the centre
The scent of her flesh,
My mouth on her pulsing
Closing the round.
But my heart at the centre
Heart-beat bound,
Breast was bound.
My heart was found;
Like a magnet’s keeper
The world went round,
My sense—and my reason
Did destroy
And still as ever
The fields of autumn
And my breast to her beating
On its prowling orbit
Spun like a toy.
Revolve through her hair;
Was still as a pivot,
And the world all whirling
Like the dance of a dervish
Of all, in a swound
Stretching bare,
I saw the midlands
