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.

Then die! that she
And not blush so to be admired.
How sweet and fair she seems to be.
Go, lovely rose!
The common fate of all things rare
Suffer herself to be desired,
Tell her that's young,
Bid her come forth,
That hadst thou sprung
That now she knows,
Thou must have uncommended died.
And shuns to have her graces spied,
May read in thee;
When I resemble her to thee,
Of beauty from the light retired;
In deserts, where no men abide,
How small a part of time they share
Tell her that wastes her time and me,
That are so wondrous sweet and fair!
Small is the worth
