To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Those golden ringlets, rippling as they flow. We wreathed with blossoms many years ago. Seasons have wasted ; but, remembered yet. There gleams the lily through those braids of jet. Cheeks that have faded worn by slow decay Have caught new blushes from the morning's ray. That simple ribbon, crossed upon the breast. Wakes a poor heart that sobbed itself to rest ; Aye, thus she wore it ; tell me not she died. With that fair phantom floating by my side. THE POET AMONG THE HILLS. 113 'Tis as of old... : why ask the vision's name? All, to the white robe's folding, is the same; And there, unconscious of a hundred snows, On that white bosom bums the self-same rose. Oh, dear illusion, how thy magic power Works with two charms— a maiden and a flower ! Then blame me not if, lost in memory's dream, I cheat your hopes of some expansive theme. When the pale star-light fills the evening dim, A misty mantle folds our river's brim. In those white wreaths, how oft the wanderer sees Half real shapes, the playthings of the breeze.
