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.

Have all the hopes of ages come to nought?
And is the Great Cause lost beyond recall?
I believe still, in despite of it all!
Is Life but Death, and Love its funeral pall?
And still can leave me in His shaping hands.
This clay knows nought the Potter understands.
Forgive the anguish of the turning wheel.
Filled with a faith no preacher ever taught.
Maybe. But still on bended knees I fall,
Oh God my God, by no false prophet wrought,
Let go the myths and creeds of groping men.
I own that Power divine beyond my ken,
Is Life no more with noble meaning fraught?
But, O my God, that madest me to feel!
