What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I search not through the realms of space, Where in slow aeons worlds are made, And in remoter asons fade ; But in the face Of Nature, on this terrene home, Where, canopied by heaven's blue dome, We may, if but we will, be free To every influence from Thee The sunlight upon ocean dancing; The glory shed from summer skies; The yet more potent love-light glancing In woman's too victorious eyes. The wonder and the witchery Of this unf athomed loveliness Smite with too keen a stress Hearts burdened ...with the sense Of all the woe and misery 59 SPIRITUS SANCTUS Mixed with the threads of life's too tangled skein : Is not the poor pretence Of joy in beauty slain, Though one should make it plain, In the marred web, how many ill-wrought strands Are shot across the warp by our unskilful hands ? Not thus then can'st thou give What we must ever seek: The light and strength to live, When head and heart are weak. Alas! This goddess, Beauty, never brings Salvation, though she shines and sings, Heaven in her eyes, and magic in her tone: She must not rule alone.
