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.

My weakness is they are so few.
Sometimes I hear fine ladies sing,
Is when I think about the poor;
Sometimes I play at games of cards—
Judge me to be no strong man then.
When, like a spring that rain has fed,
Sometimes I smoke and drink with men;
Has all its mornings bathed in dew;
My heart has moments wet with tears,
The strongest moment of my life
My pity rises more and more.
The flower that loves the warmth and light,
