To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The nuptial bell which rang in youth Is silent, mossy and uncough. The castles which we oft did frame 146 H«ave crumbled into grief and shame, And on their ruin dwell our tears, Our smiles, our hopes, of childhood years. A thrill of horror stirs ni}^ soul. The thoughts of youth, unfolded, roll As silently the past I scan, And gaze upon the tomb of man. Beneath this turf of grass and weed Lies one for whom my heart doth bleed. Yes, one so pure, so sweet and fair Wliose sympathy I longed to share.... How often in the fragrant lea, When toil resigned to action free. We met and chatted here and there, When meadows smiled with roses fair. How often, yes, how often then In budding youth we laid our plan. The sunbeams round our vision played, But turned to moonbeams as we laid 147 Our fancy on the screen of strife With full reality of life. Erelong the laurels, wilted, waned. For tyranny supremely reigned. And paved our way with thorns and tears. Which darkened all our future years. Unyielding struggle sapped our strength, Till death had worked its gloomy length.
