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.

Without eyen I see, and without tongue I plain.
That loseth nor locketh holdeth me in prison
Nor letteth me live nor die at my device,
I find no peace, and all my war is done.
And nought I have, and all the world I season.
I feed me in sorrow and laugh in all my pain;
I love another, and thus I hate myself.
I fear and hope. I burn and freeze like ice.
And my delight is causer of this strife.
And holdeth me not—yet can I scape no wise—
I fly above the wind, yet can I not arise;
Likewise displeaseth me both life and death,
I desire to perish, and yet I ask health.
And yet of death it giveth me occasion.
