What reading level is Idle Hours book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From velvet lids whose fires impart Ecstatic joy and keenest smart, All men are warned, yet all men go Where they ihay feel the kindling glow Of charms that flash and gleam and dart From velvet lids.
BEWARE. 43 BEWARE.
Ye lovers, beware, In your sail o'er life's ocean, Of that rock of despair.
Which, in spite of devotion, Wrecks love in its youth — The rock of untruth.
The mail round love's boat Is of confidence fashioned ; One rent in that coat, And the surges impassioned Engulf without ruth —... Beware of untruth !
44 IDLE HOURS.
SWEET WORDS ARE SOUR.
Sweet words are sour when acts proclaim That love is dead, asleep, or lame ; When days drag by, and footsteps stay, Till Wonder drives young Hope away, And smoking Doubt bursts into flame.
Then like a trumpet's loud acclaim, Through all the soul, that grieves to blame, These words resound by night and day — Sweet words are sour.
Sweet words are sour when care can tame The heart of Love, and from its aim Divert the soul. If 'neath the sway Of any power, Love's steps delay, The waiting heart bursts in exclaim — Sweet words are sour.
