What reading level is The Poems of Henry Timrod book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this poor life we may not cross One virtuous instinct without loss, And the soul grows not to its height Till love calls forth its utmost might.
Not blind to all you might have been, And with some consciousness of sin-- Because with love you sometimes played, And choice, not fate, hath kept you maid-- You feel that you must pass from earth But half-acquainted with its worth, And that within your heart are deeps In which a nobler woman sleeps; That not the maiden, but the wife Grasps ...the whole lesson of a life, While such as you but sit and dream Along the surface of its stream.
And doubtless sometimes, all unsought, There comes upon your hour of thought, Despite the struggles of your will, A sense of something absent still; And then you cannot help but yearn To love and be beloved in turn, As they are loved, and love, who live As love were all that life could give; And in a transient clasp or kiss Crowd an eternity of bliss; They who of every mortal joy Taste always twice, nor feel them cloy, Or, if woes come, in Sorrow's hour Are strengthened by a double power.
