What reading level is Old Age Birthday Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Unhappy man, whose wishes move In bonds prescribed by selfish love ; Who knows not, nor desires to know The joys which from affection flow ; Whose blood ne'er quickens in his veins Except to hear of worldly gains ; Whose only thought from hour to hour, Springs from the hope of higher power ; His constant strife alas, how vain ! Is earth's supremacy to gain ! But let such folly disappear ; Now higher, holier hopes seem near Hopes of earth's PARADISE restored ; Which have the promise of the LORD.... All true humanity unites To share with others their delights ; Compassionates in their distress, Whom pain or sorrow may oppress ; But happier far is he who greets, For their good fortune, all he meets. In kindly deeds on earth are some Who thus foretaste the joys to come. As mutual love, in force, declined, Man to his neighbor grew less kind ; Then soon the baleful strife began, That each should rule his fellow man ! Such was the power of selfish birth Which rent the earliest church of earth. When Eden fell !
