To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How well the pensive mood becomes the maid ! How chaste her bearing : and what sympathy She pours on all that seek her countenance ! Stirred by her steps, the flowers seem courtesying, And woo the kindly pressure of her feet, Then spring to kiss her skirts. Her summer dress, So neatly made, and careful kept, and clean, Is innocent of spendthrift fashion's whims, 15 Outrageous flash, and rude extravagance. The taste and elegance herein displayed With stature and complexion harmonise So quietly, ...her picture ages hence Might artist captivate. Thus foilage cool That half conceals the bright delicious fruit, By quiet contrast, heightens loveliness. Another change ! the maiden is no more ! The Sabbath comes not yet with holy calm, Melodious praise, and spirit-questioning. 'Tis now a still autumnal eventide, And down the meadow footpath, sad and slow, Cheating her weariness with thoughts of home, An aged gleaner totters 'neath her load. Upon the wooden bridge she rests awhile, And, sadly smiling, reads once more the names Carved in the trusty hand-rail, long ago, By one whose manliness made beautiful Her after years with solemn light and shade.
