What reading level is The Tongue a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then give me music; not the wanton notes That form their tingling and falsetto spires, Impertinently on the cheated ear. Ss^ Sure none but gingling elves, and fashion's fools. Can laud compounded and confounded noise, And give it music's fascinating name. Give mo the natural and simple air, The flowing notes of plaintive melody, n 34 THE TONGUE. PAUT FIRST. 590 Which speak the language of the musing soul, AVhen words convey not her abstracted mood. Is it in music's pow'r, when unallied To poesy...'s more intellectual song, To move the springs whence tender feelings flow, ^95 Like the blind bard, denied the solar beams. That he might bask in purer rays of heaven ? Can rarest beauties of unwedded airs Pour such a flood of pathos o'er the mind. As when he darkly sings of Zion Hill, ^^ And sweetly wails j^rivation of that light No sun, nor changeful season, ever brings? Can simple music bid the passions rage, hi all the flashings of their lightning play, Like the immortal verse of Shakspcare's muse?
