What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hence, while the fragrant rose-leaves fall, And white magnolia-blossoms gleamAbove my wave-lapped garden wall, I seem to see, as in a dream, The kneeling forms of those who laidTheir floral offerings on that shrine, And here their grateful tribute paidTo beauty, rightly deemed divine.
Doth some Divinity each mornCast over me its ancient spell, That this sweet landscape seems forlornWithout the gods who loved it well?
Men tell me they are dead and gone, But when my soul is moved to pray, I feel,... beside my sculptured Faun, They are not very far away.
For I, who love this classic lake, And cruise along its storied shores, See Roman galleys in my wake, And hear the stroke of phantom oars.
It matters not which way I steer, Or if my course be slow or fast, The Pagan world seems always near;I sail, companioned by the Past.
RETIREMENT Spirit of solitude, silence, and rest, Take me once more, like a child, to your breast!Weary of worldliness, turmoil, and hate, Welcome me back, if it be not too late, Back to the realm of ideals and dreams, Hush of the forest and cadence of streams!
