Does it Matter?
Siegfried Sassoon
1886 to 1967
Track 1
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 people will always be kind,
There's such splendid work for the blind;
For people will always be kind,
And you need not show that you mind
As you sit on the terrace remembering
You can drink and forget and be glad,
Does it matter?—losing your legs?...
Does it matter?—losing your sight?...
And no one will worry a bit.
And people won't say that you're mad;
When the others come in after football
For they'll know that you've fought for your country,
To gobble their muffins and eggs.
And turning your face to the light.
Do they matter?—those dreams from the pit?...
