To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had the world nothing she might live to care for?No second self to say her evening prayer for?
She knew the marble shapes that set men dreaming, Yet with her shoulders bare and tresses streamingShowed not unlovely to her simple seeming.
Vain? Let it be so! Nature was her teacher. What if a lonely and unsistered creatureLoved her own harmless gift of pleasing feature, Saying, unsaddened, --This shall soon be faded, And double-hued the shining tresses braided, And all the sunlight of the morning ...shaded?
This her poor book is full of saddest follies, Of tearful smiles and laughing melancholies, With summer roses twined and wintry hollies.
In the strange crossing of uncertain chances, Somewhere, beneath some maiden's tear-dimmed glancesMay fall her little book of dreams and fancies.
Sweet sister! Iris, who shall never name thee, Trembling for fear her open heart may shame thee, Speaks from this vision-haunted page to claim thee.
Spare her, I pray thee! If the maid is sleeping, Peace with her!
