To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And, in far glory dim, the Cross, Where Love o'erleaps the human bound. STANZAS Of the heaven is generation : Fruition in the deep earth lies : And where the twain have broadest blending, The stateliest growths of life arise. Set, then, thy root in earth more firmly : Raise thy fair head erect and free : And spread thy loving arms so widely, That heaven and earth shall meet in thee. 55 THE SMOOTH PORTRAIT How lightly hast thou learned of human grief ! Thy flesh has 'scaped the sacrificial knife... — Men quote the pride of a too happy life To set thy even virtues in relief. The brow's serenity — the head thrown back That the audacious eyes may smile to heaven ; The mouth, with not one tender muscle riven By the impatient torture of the rack ; A joy self-continent, that overflows The marble of the face, for beauty's sake ; Heroic laughter, such as day might wake In a god's heart, with rosy, ringing blows. Oh ! happy soul — upon thy placid breast The worn eye sinks, and has so much of calm, While the clear voice is medicine and balm To heal the aguish fever of unrest.
