Text animation using css to fade out and in a part of the text

I'm trying to animate some text and I'm having some problems getting the result that I want. I have a poem (each sentence in its own div) that I wish to fade out, then fade in on hover, remain visible for a while, and then fade out again. Sort of like a game of finding the text and giving the user a hint on where to hover.

Here is the code that I have so far:

.poem {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
cursor: pointer;
}

.hide {
opacity: 0;
transition: all ease 15s;
}

.hide:hover {
border: 1px solid black;
opacity: 1;
}

.hint {
-webkit-animation: fadeinout 30s linear forwards;
animation: fadeinout 5s linear forwards;
}

@-webkit-keyframes fadeinout {
0%,100% { opacity: 0; }
50% { opacity: 1; }
}

@keyframes fadeinout {
0%,100% { opacity: 0; }
50% { opacity: 1; }
}

    <div class="poem hide">that are like newspapers that</div>
    <div class="poem hide">read themselves.</div>
    <div class="poem hide">I go for days at a time</div>
    <div class="poem hide">trapped in the want ads.</div>
    <div class="poem hide">I feel as if I am an ad</div>
    <div class="poem hide">for the sale of a haunted house:</div>
    <div class="poem hide">18 rooms</div>
    <div class="poem hide">$37,000</div>
    <div class="poem hide">I'm yours</div>
    <div class="poem">ghosts and all.</div>
    <div class="poem hide">Richard Brautigan</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

So far I've only tried it with css but I would welcome any javascript suggestions too !

Any help would be extremely appreciated !

Thanks in advance !

Please checkout this working example

$(window).ready(()=>{
  // fade in the hint text
  $('.poem-hint').toggleClass('hide');
  // fade out the hint text after 3 seconds (3000ms)
  setTimeout(()=>{
     $('.poem-hint').toggleClass('hide');
  }, 3000);  
  
  $('.poem').hover((e)=>{
    $(e.target).toggleClass('hide');
  })
});
.poem {
    transition: opacity 1500ms ease-in-out;
    opacity: 1;
}

.poem:hover {
  border: solid thin black;
}

.hide {
   opacity: 0;
}

    <div class="poem hide">I'm yours</div>
    <div class="poem">ghosts and all.</div>
    <div class="poem hide">Richard Brautigan</div>
</div>

If you want the text to stay visible for a longer time, just change 1500ms to a number that satisfies your requirements :)

Instead of forwards I just ran it one time so it didn't stop on the last frame. Should work:

.hint {
 -webkit-animation: fadeinout 5s 1 linear ;
 animation: fadeinout 5s 1 linear ;
}

Working example: https://jsfiddle.net/nsf25rz0/2/
