What reading level is Modern British Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nay, they wither, root and stem, If an end be set to them.
Overbrim and overflow, If your own heart you would know; For the spirit born to bless Lives but in its own excess.
THE HOUSE THAT WAS Of the old house, only a few crumbled Courses of brick, smothered in nettle and dock, Or a squared stone, lying mossy where it tumbled! Sprawling bramble and saucy thistle mock What once was firelit floor and private charm Where, seen in a windowed picture, hills were fading At dusk, and all was memor...y-coloured and warm, And voices talked, secure from the wind's invading.
Of the old garden, only a stray shining Of daffodil flames amid April's cuckoo-flowers, Or a cluster of aconite mixt with weeds entwining! But, dark and lofty, a royal cedar towers By homely thorns: whether the white rain drifts Or sun scorches, he holds the downs in ken, The western vale; his branchy tiers he lifts, Older than many a generation of men.
_Alfred Douglas_ Lord Alfred Douglas was born in 1870 and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford.
