Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. 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.

But Lawrence's legend continues to grow
Lawrence of Arabia, world-renowned
Your spirit rides forevermore
No enemy could catch him there
Lawrence of Arabia would ride
The sands of time may shift and blow
Just peace and quiet, a simpler name
In war and peace, he blazed a trail
Lawrence, Lawrence, desert wind
His legend would outshine them all
From Sinai to Damascus' fall
From Arabic sands to English shore
Of one man's daring, brave and bold
Guerrilla warfare was his game
On two wheels flying, wind in his hair
His tale in books and film was made
A warrior-scholar, desert-bound
A British soldier, bold and true
A desert wind that will not fail
With Bedouin tribes he found his place
But legends never truly fade
Lawrence, Lawrence, desert wind
He led by wit and desert vim
Defying rank, he'd never bend
But fate, it seems, had other plans
With Arabs riding at his side
Across the dunes, a tale unfolds
In sands of gold and skies of blue
And led them on a victor's race
When war was done, he sought no fame
On English roads, his final stand
The desert knew and feared his name
The Turks he fought with tactics bold
Your journey's reached its bitter end
No uniform or brass for him
While mocking brass and rank untold
