To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Vitality's bond Is strained to the full, and shadows respond Where glory's heritage was wont to tint The ecstasies sung in spir'tual print: Anxiety's seriousness yawns deep, And confidence tensions its fervid sweep ; The buoyancy of her soul in its phase, The charge of the spirit, the faith, the praise, Are slowly yielding to the whims of life, 42 Where vital energies forget their strife: Her steps grow feeble, her efforts are sore, And ev'ry goading of the will seems o'er : The promise of hope... still beckons her quest, But earthly vitality wilts unblest; The weird mirage of her vision and aim Is merged in destiny's function and game: Her trust is waning, the garb of despair Is clotting her brow in sorrow and care, While desperate pride, the voice of her soul, Is straining, but vainly, to gage the goal : Exhaustion is mocking her ev'ry sway, And misery's trials debauch the day : The augury of grim fate is ahead, And all her vows are as whispers unsaid.
A blasted fir now succors her glory, And forms her couch 'gainst the ills that worry; And deep within next a thicket of gloom, Fast by where waters seem lisping to doom, She yields to nature and its stern decree, While wandering fancies usurp hope's plea: Her ev'ry vigil is drowsy and dull, And stealthy incidents her thoughts annul : Her consciousness thickens, her eyes grow faint, And ev'ry pulse of her core shows the taint.
