What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some advocate the equity of laws. And plead with eloquence their clients' cause. And some (beholding ills of human life), Mov'd by compassion deep, have whet the knife Of science, and where foul disease is rife. And human beings pine on Torture's rack. They interpose the blade, and beckon, " Back." And nearly all, on Matrimony's stage. Play well the drama for the future age ; Yet all. whate'er their lot or fortune be. Stretch back the lips of fondest memory. And to old Alfred press'd, rekiss th...e spot Where hopes arose they never have forgot ; And thoughts of what they should be, and what not ; Where strange and droll were mingled lot with lot, And friendship young link'd youthful soul to soul. And soft affection working strange control, Wove close the web of Love; or Cupid's dart Would often wound the most unwilling heart. And still my memory loves to linger near These cherish'd scenes, and in its falling tear LINES WRITTEN TO A FRIEND. 153 See hygone pleasure's sunshine gleam, as you Have seen earth's sunshine, sparkle in the dew ; And when sweet Eve, on heaven's azure breast Has placed her gems to twinkle and to rest, My thoughts oft wander back, and strangely droll, Live o'er those scenes that once have bless'd the soul; And dream again the dream that then I dream'd Of a fair future, which was (as it seem'd).
