What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Strange thoughts are these, for one who would have spurn'd, A few years since, as fool, or something worse, A moral preacher ! Strange, the heart can cast One set of passions out, and find its bliss In others, quite oppos'd as are the poles, Or good and evil ! Yet such things are true ; And are attested by the accidents Of ev'ry hour. We are not stationary, We're ever shifting, and yet still the same. What we are now, we know ; to-morrow, that Is wisely shut from us, and we forewarn'd To let to...-morrow cater for itself; A maxim thunder'd from ten thousand tongues, And pour'd into as many thousand ears, And yet, one of those disagreeable And strange conceits, o'er which we do prefer To yawn, and make the heart think 'twas not heard. Pleasing consistency. Yes, a few years And all our purposes forget their aims, And go from us ; then others take their place, And we become new creatures. We look back, And measure what we would have been, with what We now are ; and lo 1 what are the avails Of lookbg to futurity, and striving T' appropriate its duties to ourselves ?
