What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
26 ON AN OLD SONG Little snatch of ancient song, What has made thee live so long ?
Flying on thy wings of rhyme Lightly down the depths of time, Telling nothing strange or rare, Scarce a thought or image there, Nothing but the old, old tale Of a hapless lover's wail ; Offspring of an idle hour, Whence has come thy lasting power ?
By what turn of rhythm or phrase, By what subtle careless grace, Can thy music charm our ears After full three hundred years ?
Little song, since thou wert born, In th...e Reformation morn, How much great has passed away, Shattered or by slow decay, Stately piles in ruins crumbled, Lordly houses lost and humbled, Thrones and realms in darkness hurled, Noble flags for ever furled, ON AN OLD SONG 27 Wisest schemes by statesmen spun, Time has seen them one by one Like the leaves of Autumn fall — A little song outlives them alL There were mighty scholars then, With the slow, laborious pen, Piling up their works of learning, Men of solid, deep discerning, Widely famous as they taught Systems of connected thought, Destined for all future ages ; Now the cobweb binds their pages ; All unread their volumes lie Mouldering so peaceably, Coffined thoughts of coffined men, Never more to stir again In the passion and the strife, In the fleeting forms of life, All their force and meaning gone, As the stream of thought flows on.
