To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The winds o'er it chillingly, moanfully blow; Above it droop ice-beaded boughs of the trees. As though Nature's tear-drops had fallen, to freeze ; And I fain would imagine those pearls to be Kindly tokens of sympathy, shed for me. Like clouds o'er a landscape no sunlight may part. Till they've watered the earth, my grief-clouded heart Finds relief but in tears; yet I would not forget — Though Mem'ry's recallings were dark with re- gret — That mound, where lies sleeping the pride of my life. Wit...h all its fond hopes ! 'Tis the grave of my wife. There oft' in the summer's warmth, beauty, and calm, I've sat, while Aeolus passed, laden with balm But just kissed from the flow'rs, and vocal with song Of warblers in playfulness flitting along; Yet the sweet life and love all around me were vain, To still my sad heart, or its longings restrain. 35 There at twilight I've lingered when all was still, Save the mournful call of a lone whippoorwill, Whose song seemed most tenderly plaintive to be, As though 'twere intended for me — only me; And I've hummed a low strain, while waiting alone, More grievingly, sighingly sad than his own.
