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.

We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
We shall give to truth a grander birth,
But what have we brought to-day?
But what did we give to-day?
We shall feed the hungering souls of earth,
And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
But what have we done to-day?
We shall plant a hope in the place of fear,
But whom have we fed to-day?
We shall bring to each lonely life a smile,
We shall be so kind in the after while,
We shall give out gold in princely sum,
We shall speak with words of love and cheer,
But what have we been to-day?
We shall do so much in the years to come,
But what have we done to-day?
