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.

If thou kiss not me?
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the rivers with the Ocean,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
What is all this sweet work worth
With a sweet emotion;
The fountains mingle with the river
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Nothing in the world is single;
If it disdained its brother;
All things by a law divine
Why not I with thine?—
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
See the mountains kiss high Heaven
