To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
21 X Behold the heaven of stars, that softly rise, And fall altern, where each a jewel lies, Upon the broidered robe, that folds a breast at ease, All steeped in calm, on nightly skies ! Rest desired. Beneath the temple-roof of earthly fane, There's peace on earth, in music's heavenly pain ; But 'neath His temple-dome, where hang the stars alight, What pealing choirs, and organ-strain ! The cunning builder's hands, in airy stone, On earthly roof, have Gothic pendants strown ; But hang the pende...nt-drops, in perfect poise aloft, From fretted roof of night alone. 22 QUATRAINS. The peace that garish haunts and daylight flees, Oh, dim by night, the dreamy watcher sees. There by the milky way, one glimpse of her is ours, Where floats her veil, upon the breeze. The far cicala-drone, now day is spent, Still rings my feet, which way my steps be bent, In e'er receding song, that ne'er is far nor near ; And hums of rest, and night's content. O all ye starry worlds, that shun our skies By garish day, and meet our tired eyes But when our work is done, move ye in peace etern ; Nor labouring suns for you arise ?
