What reading level is Songs of a Parish Priest book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
this chamber in the breast Harbours many a longed-for guest : Some are young, and some are old ; Some lie pale beneath the mould : Yet within this chamber door We can meet them all once more. Little hands so soft and clinging, Little voices blithe and ringing, SHADOW-LAND. 97 Brows all bright with manhood's glory, Brows so patient, seamed, and hoary. Lips on which the turf has lain Whisper kindly words again ; Eyes that scan yon angel bowers Turn once more to answer ours; Feet the waves of deat...h have wet Turn and walk beside us yet. While they in this chamber tread, We may hardly deem them dead. Called to earth from shadow-land. Fresh and beautiful they stand : Buds that withered years ago Seem once more to bloom and blow ; Hopes so sweet they faded fast, Ere the morning's dews were past — Hopes perchance to blossom still In the land invisible. Seeds we watered oft with tears Yield in those eternal years An unshaded world of bliss, Sought, but vainly sought, in this. Hei'e on earth they had their root, There beyond they bear their fruit ; Here the sowing and the weeping, There the harvest-tide and reaping : Here they faded like the leaves, There the Master binds the sheaves.
