Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. 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.

Whilst thine the victor is, and free.
From thy bright eyes he took his fires,
Whilst bleeding hearts around him flowed,
From me his languishment and fears,
But 'twas from mine he took desires
For whom fresh pains he did create,
And every killing dart from thee.
And set him up a deity;
And strange tyrannic power he showed.
Which round about in sport he hurled;
From thee his pride and cruelty;
From me he took his sighs and tears,
Thus thou and I the god have armed,
Love in fantastic triumph sat,
Enough t' undo the amorous world.
But my poor heart alone is harmed,
