What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How vivid to me comes the vision now, Of low-roofed cottage hung with trailing vine, Of orchard blossoms in the sweet spring-time, There strayed my feet in childhood's early morn.
DYING SOLDIER'S SOLILOQUY. 59 My mother, I remember thy sad look, Thy silvery locks, the tears that coursed adown Thy furrowed cheek, the morn I took my leave.
My sister, too, I mind me well of thee As on my breast you breathed a sad farewell And sobbing bade your brother soon return.
Ah, never, never sister, back to ...thee, I'll come again, thy gladsome smile shall greet Me hence no more.
This, this is fame ! A bauble vanished now.
Not thus this morn, When the earth shook convulsed with battle's din, And dense the smoke rolled blank'ning to the sky. Firm then my hand upon the saber's hilt, Flashed the bright blade from scabbard in the air : Now lies it nerveless on the slippery sod, And darkly clotted with a brother's gore. I see it now, the cursed delusion's fled ! I view the golden links of Friendship's chain That bind in peace one brotherhood of man ; But from my side the life-tide bubbles fast.
