What reading level is Christ in Hades; a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though harsh to untuned ears the hymn of death, Shall henceforth be the music of the world : But on the plenary and highest noon Of human wisdom, though at brightest dark, I rose with light, and to the greatest height Of man's ascent descended. Now begins.
Far stretching o'er all empire to the end.
My reign on earth : Jerusalem no more.
But all the earth is holy. Sion still CHRIST IN HADES. 93 Bears on her hills a temple, fashioned high, And full of glorious office, but devoid His presence who ...from human lips loves truth More than his praise ; and soon her Holiest Place Beneath the feet of nations shall be stamped, And bruised with iron dint : To-day is laid With deep and sure foundation in my death, Soon, in my resurrection, to be raised With heavenly superstructure fair, the new Jerusalem ; the undecaying pile Of glory spiritual, whose most pure walls Shall be the illimitable air, her gates The East and West, — but Sion is no more." At this, not spoken by their heavenly Guest Without some touch of sorrow, not a few Among the dwellers on that pallid shore, Wept irrepressibly ; and hoary heads Desponded patiently upon the breast Of king and prophet ; and a sound was heard, As of the golden strings of many a harp Broken by hasty hands, and sighs were breathed, And sobs tumultuous ; as when a band Of exiles, on a foreign coast, to hear 94 CHRIST IN HADES.
