To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By all men ardently pursued, Swift through a tangled maze you dance Your trailing skirts their grasp elude ; And none your airy flight may stem, Or catch your gauzy garment's hem.
Now from a mine the maiden smiles, And now the mart her quips control.
Her lures outmatch the merchant's wiles ; Her glamour cheats the poet's soul ; And kings and outcasts, at her glance, Meet in the race for Happy Chance.
Myself have followed, followed far, O'er barren wastes and blustering seas ; Have swum the floo...d and leaped the bar, Nor sought nor gained a moment's ease.
No toil, no daring could advance My vain pursuit of Happy Chance.
92 HAPPY CHANCE.
And still throughout this waning year I thought to seize her at the last, For, lo, sometimes she drew me near Then with a laugh the vision passed ; And I, whom she could so entrance, Still failed to clutch my Happy Chance.
New Year ! attend, and hear me swear I would not hold her if I might !
So let her still be far and fair, And unpossessed, and still a sprite.
