What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All is gone--All--save the piles of earth that hold their bones--The platforms where they worshipped unknown gods--The barriers which they builded from the soilTo keep the foe at bay--till o'er the wallsThe wild beleaguerers broke, and, one by one, The strongholds of the plain were forced, and heapedWith corpses. The brown vultures of the woodFlocked to those vast uncovered sepulchres, And sat, unscared and silent, at their feast. Haply some solitary fugitive, Lurking in marsh and forest, till ...the senseOf desolation and of fear becameBitterer than death, yielded himself to die. Man's better nature triumphed then. Kind wordsWelcomed and soothed him; the rude conquerorsSeated the captive with their chiefs; he choseA bride among their maidens, and at lengthSeemed to forget, --yet ne'er forgot, --the wifeOf his first love, and her sweet little ones, Butchered, amid their shrieks, with all his race.
Thus change the forms of being. Thus ariseRaces of living things, glorious in strength, And perish, as the quickening breath of GodFills them, or is withdrawn.
