What reading level is Home Ballads And Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I No victory comes of all our strife, — From all we grasp the meaning slips ; The Sphinx sits at the gate of life, With the old question on her awful lips.
In paths unknown we hear the feet Of fear before, and guilt behind : We pluck the wayside fruit, and eat Ashes and dust beneath its golden rind.
From age to age descends unchecked The sad bequest of sire to son. The body's taint, the mind's defect — Through every web of life the dark threads run.
Oh ! why and whither ? — God knows all : I on...ly know that he is good, THE SHADOW AND THE LIGHT. ST And that whatever may befall Or here or there, must be the best that could.
Between the dreadful cherubim A Father's face I still discern, As Moses looked of old on him, And saw his glory into goodness turn I For he is merciful as just : And so, by faith correcting sight, I bow before his will, and trust Howe'er they seem he doeth all things right.
And dare to hope that he will make The rugged smooth, the doubtful plain ; His mercy never quite forsake ; His healing visit every realm of pain ; That suffering is not his revenge Upon his creatures weak and frail, Sent on a pathway new and strange With feet that wander and with eyes that fail ; 88 THE SHADOW AND THE LIGHT.
