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.

And suffer every shame and blame,
But what is one, amid a throng
Oh, I could shriek and tear my hair
Those anguished voices in the air!
So vast and merciless and strong,
What ear would hear me if I cried?
So why join in the hopeless fray,
Though I should plunge in flood and flame,
I am not called upon to pay.
The world would triumph all the same.
In rage, rebellion and despair.
What could I do to stem the tide?
And waste my brief and precious day?
To make attempt to right the wrong?
And who would rally to my side?
