What reading level is Poems of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here stately monuments of graceful art Proclaim the virtues of the flattered dead : How oft an epitaph exalts a heart Whose deeds no lustre on its lifetime shed !
Yet here, apart, mid calm, sequestered glade, A pathway winds, by pilgrim homage worn.
Where generous Love and Friendship's tasteful aid Have shrined the rehes whose repose they mourn.
Rough from the quarry hewn, in shapeless grace The unpolished block of virgin marble stands.
And forms the massive but unmodclled base Where chiselled ...urn admiring praise commands.
Expressive symbol of the mind unwrought, Till Time to Labor's work perfection brings, 198 POEMS OF PLACES.
And kindred souls, fulfilling Nature's thought, Undying laurels carve where ivy clings.
'T was minstrel's truest type, that needs no words, The stringless lyre leaning on thy grave !
Death early loosed thy spirit's "silver chords," And stilled the music that thy being gave.
Yet Hope's proud dreams might ask no more of Fame Than such a triljute for an honored tomb, Where tears of grief bedew the cherished name.
