What reading level is Mattins And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A clock chimed in the village down below ; Some children shouted ; and the blue smoke curled Out of the cottage chimneys 'twas as though There could be nothing ugly in the world. The lights gleamed from the houses in the wood ; And God smiled, for He saw that it was good.
38 GOD 39 Then, as I laid my head upon the ground And waited there for dark night's close embrace, I heard, far off, a murmuring, rumbling sound, As if the earth groaned at her own disgrace ; It trembled on the breeze, swelled..., and then died; Again the branches rustled, and God sighed.
HARLOW.
MATTINS A BRILLIANT summer morning, still and hot ; A day for flannels and a pipe, and not For stuffy Sunday clothes, a long, dull walk, And duller sermon, and the vapid talk Of fellow-Christians, with souls replete, Hurrying to fill their bodies with roast meat.
(Their worship's over ; God's returned to Heaven, And stays there till next Sunday at eleven. ) . . . I had forgot 'twas Sunday ; all this Beauty Plays Hell with a respectable man's duty ; And, lying there beneath the chestnut trees, Watching the busy buzzing of the bees, Sniffing the little, cedar-scented breeze That whisked invisible across the lawn To kiss me crimson ramblers, like the dawn In mid- winter, mocking my lazy eyes I felt so full of joyous psalmodies, I could have sung aloud my praise to God There and then.
