Desert Wind: The Ballad of Lawrence
Richard
Track 1
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.

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