To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The hours prolong, the moments stay ; While all the vanished joys of youth Were crowded in a single day. But Time, 'gainst whom we 've filed complaint. Grants us at least one favor; He sifts from life its bitterness. And leaves the pleasant flavor. So, when I speak of early days. And mention joy and pleasure, 73 Potm Don't think they raised in this old town Mere gentlemen of leisure. For those were strenuous times, indeed ; Each day full marked with duty. Here, every boy was trained for use. No...t ornament nor beauty. The girls, likewise, lined up for work ; (We 'd then no laws 'gainst labor) 'T was more in vogue to wash and bake Than gossip with a neighbor. So thus our holidays were rare. And work-days steady diet ; Yet still, we had our share of fun. Not always staid or quiet. For when it rained too hard to work. We 'd ofttime go a-fishing ; Down through the stream, knee deep we'd wade. No better path were wishing. And though the rain streamed down our backs In torrents like a flood. It simply added to our zest; It never chilled our blood.
