To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And still in that eloquent silence I tremble with passion divine As light as the thistle-down falling The lips of my dear one touched mine. He touched them and pressed them, and clinging Close, close in a rapturous kiss, He drew, as a bee draweth honey, My soul till it fainted with bliss, And it passed in his keeping forever, To have and to hold as his own, Till the earth is a handful of ashes, By the winds of eternity blown. CHICAGO TIMES. ONE BY ONE. ONE by one the shadows cast them- selves a...cross the road, One by one the sorrows, of this life, in- crease the load Of the weary, dreary burden clinging closer, day by day, As the flickering light of childhood softly fades away. One by one the pleasures, once so fraught with light, Droop and die in sadness at the fast approach of night ; One by one the sweetest notes of youth's melodious chime, Becomes a tender echo in the memory of that time. One by one the threads of Hope will guide my faltering ieet, Toward the silent river with its flowers blooming sweet ; One by one the scourgings of the father's chastening rod, Marks out plain the pathwa) that will lead me up to God.
