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.

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