What reading level is Collected Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Much have I thought of life, and seen How poor men's hearts are ever light ; And how their wives do hum like bees About their work from morn till night.
So, when I hear these poor ones laugh, And see the rich ones coldly frown — Poor men, think I, need not go up So much as rich men should come down.
When I had money, money, O !
My many friends proved all untrue ; But now I have no money, O !
My friends are real, though very few.
84 Sadness and Joy 56. Sadness and Joy I PRAY you. Sadness, leave ...me soon.
In sweet invention thou art poor !
Thy sister, Joy, can make ten songs While thou art making four.
One hour with thee is sweet enough ; But when we find the whole day gone And no created thing is left — We mourn the evil done.
Thou art too slow to shape thy thoughts In stone, on canvas, or in song ; But Joy, being full of active heat.
Must do some deed ere long.
Thy sighs are gentle, sweet thy tears ; But if thou canst not help a man To prove in substance what he feels — Then give me Joy, who can.
