What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then, when disgusted with the world and man, When sick of pageantry, of pomp, and pride, To thee I'll fly, in thee I'll seek relief, And hope to find that calm the world denied.
THE DESTRUCTION OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
" And he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and lo ! the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. " O DREAD was the night, when o'er Sodom's wide plain The fire of heaven descended ; For all that then bloomed shall ne'er bloom there again, For man hath his Maker offe...nded.
The midnight of terror and woe hath passed by, The death-spirit's pinions are furled ; But the sun, as it beams clear and brilliant on high, Hides from Sodom's dark, desolate world.
Here lies but that glassy, that death-stricken lake, As in mockery of what had been there ; The wild bird flies far from the dark nestling brake, Which waves its scorched arms in the air.
In that city the wine-cup was brilliantly flowing, Joy held her high festival there ; Not a fond bosom dreaming (in luxury glowing) Of the close of that night of despair.
