What reading level is Songs of Venice And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dwell not upon the past, such act were vain ; What can it bring thee now, what e'er attain ? Forget thy pride ! It only can degrade, Unless it serve as impetus to deeds That emulate the great of other days. The present calls thee, all thy latent aid The nation waits to add to her great needs, And haste the glory that thy sloth delays.
86 SONNETS.
VIII. MONTECELLO.
I stand on hallowed ground ; there is not here, Within this wide domain historic, found, A spot more sacred to the pilgrim bound For... liberty's most reverenced shrine and dear Save one, Mount Vernon, resting ever near The blue Potomac. Dense the hill is crowned With the venerable oaks that shade the mound Where sleeps the friend of man who knew no fear.
The soft June morn rests on the peaceful valley; It is a glorious prospect ! Far away The purple mountains and the welkin blend ; Earth may have fairer scenes though few they be But the proud world can boast no son to-day More worthy of its homage or his end.
SONNETS. 87 IX.
