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.

We'll grasp firm hands and laugh at the old pain,
And hiss and hate. And the blind fight the blind.
And we, the tapering paths of our own mind,
We stumble and we do not understand.
You are blind like us. Your hurt no man designed,
When it is peace. But until peace, the storm
You only saw your future bigly planned,
And no man claimed the conquest of your land.
When it is peace, then we may view again
And in each other's dearest ways we stand,
And wonder. Grown more loving-kind and warm
The darkness and the thunder and the rain.
But gropers both through fields of thought confined
With new-won eyes each other's truer form
