What reading level is Poems of the Town book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The children of the bonds of clay Who dwell within the house of Crime, As when the poppy puts away The supplicating hands of Time.
So, lost to self and meshed with sin No longer shall her spirit toss, Storm-cradled by that might-have-been Which haunted her with bitter loss.
The gates of peace are entered in And earthward falls life's burdening cross.
III.
Drift-white the lily lifts her head And many colored glows the rose.
But red as where some wound hath bled Blood-red the deadly poppy blows.
...The temptress of the Eastern fields ^ To play the senses fast and loose, Woe worth the one who weaMy yields His soul to steep her baneful juice.
47 More than a woman's wile it leads.
More than the serpent's tooth it stings.
While ebbing slow the sense recedes And round about the victim clings, Such mist of happy-figured dreams As never rose to mortal sipfht Chaste murmurings of lucid streams Star-sprinkled by immortal night.
And ever comes a subtle breeze Soft laden with the breath of Truth, Blown inward from enchanted seas That whisper of eternal youth.
