What reading level is Soliloquies in Song book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Death hath solved thy doubt, And made thee certain of thy changeless fate ; And thou no more hast wearily to wait, Straining to catch the people's tarrying shout That from unrestful rest would drag thee out, And push thee to those pinnacles of State Round which throng courtly loyes, uncourted hate, Servility's applause, and envy's flout.
Twice happy boy t though cut off in thy flower, The timeliest doom of all thy race is thine : Saved from the sad alternative, to pine For heights unreached, or... icily to tower, Like Alpine crests that only specious shine, And glitter on the lonely peak of Power.

UNSEASONABLE SNOWS.
The leaves have not yet gone ; then why do ye come, O white flakes falling from a dusky cloud ?
But yesterday my garden-plot was proud With uncut sheaves of ripe chrysanthemum.
Some trees the winds have stripped ; but look on some, 'Neath double load of snow and foliage bowed, Unnatural winter fashioning a shroud For Autumn's burial ere its pulse be numb.
