What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To him, in speech that rose Through sorrow's dark abysses as of old, The poet spake — his words subject to none Save his own spirit's powerful control, Yet seem'd they thus ; a sire whom worthy deeds Had raised to dignity was hers, beloved Of his lone heart with an unequall'd love In life, and follow'd through the shades of death, * Dante. F Giotto.
THE NEW CAPITAL. 11 Till, fairer in the halls of Paradise, On her sweet face he gazed with calm delight. His Florence, too, how royal was her birth... — She who no less had shared and scorn'd his love, Thrust into hopeless exile from her walls. Did Rome not bear her, when the might of Rome Had pass'd compare with all reputed might ? Then was she lapp'd in yon sweet Tuscan vale, And nourish'd from the purple veins that streak Its Eden-fashion' d slopes, whose mantle drawn, Of silver-olive, yields them to our view — Worthy the lineage whose proud marks she bore.
Then did he speak who, with reluctant soul, Leaving for peerless fame his pastoral joys, Here dwelt, and said, ' But thou art great in more Than the possession of a princely name, From out whose shadow thine own walls and towers Rose beauteous and substantial, who didst wear, Wax'd comely, on thy classic brow by turns The crown of Literature, the crown of Art, While at thy side were sages ; in thy lap Commerce profusion upon plenty pour'd.
