In Desperate Hope
Rabindranath Tagore
1861 to 1941
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.

But infinite is thy mansion, my lord,
no vision of a face seen through tears.
Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean,
and seeking her I have to come to thy door.
no hope, no happiness,
Let me for once feel
in all the corners of my room; I find her not.
In desperate hope I go and search for her
that lost sweet touch in the allness of the universe.
and I lift my eager eyes to thy face.
from which nothing can vanish --
I have come to the brink of eternity
can never be regained.
plunge it into the deepest fullness.
My house is small and what once has gone from it
I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky
