What reading level is Memories And Other Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
53 MY SONNET PRISON Full oftentimes my friends have said to me : " Give o'er the sonnet, since thou dost but lie At leaden length beneath its narrow sky A slave imprisoned when thou mightst be free.
Though true it is the masters loved by thee Have in that cage sung strains that cannot die, Yet they were those who could all bonds defy, And soar at will in Art's immensity. " Then I to them : " No eagle's wings are mine, That tempt the vastness of immortal song, To rest at last on fame-encrowned y...ears.
Leave me my prison bars, to me divine, Where with the Muse I have communed so long, And on her breast have shed memorial tears/' 54 EDELWEISS " To-morrow from Zermatt we'll see the grand, Far Theodule and soaring Matterhorn ; And then, O joy ! as though for us just born, In luring nook the Edelweiss will stand. " The morrow's breeze the peak and glacier fanned, And fanned the form of her that crushed and torn Lay like uprooted lily pale and lorn, The fatal Edelweiss within her hand.
Her body fouled with stains they bore far up From precipice's foot to church's arms, And would have earthed it 'neath memorial stone ; But vain the offer of this final cup : For she who fled the city's roars and harms Now found that even in death it claimed its own.
