For warmth alone, for shelter only
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 to 1950
Track 1
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.

Laying my head against your arm
That knows my whereabouts, and mainly
And much harm done, and the phrase in air.
A moment, and as suddenly
Warmed a little but far from warm,
Withdrawing it, and sitting there,
From the cold anger of the eyeless wind,
Is abroad at all tonight in town,
I left my phrase in air, and sinned,
And the wind still waiting at the foot of the stair,
For warmth alone, for shelter only
To be at your door when I go down
